Paddle for Progress

​Cleaner KY, INC., is a grassroots nonprofit committed to restoring and protecting the natural beauty of Kentucky’s waterways. We bring people together—one kayak or canoe at a time—to remove trash from the banks, tributaries, and shorelines of our rivers and lakes. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or a first-time volunteer, our mission is simple: clean water, healthy ecosystems, and vibrant communities for generations to come. By combining outdoor adventure with environmental stewardship, Cleaner KY transforms cleanup into connection. Join our crews as we paddle through scenic routes, uncover hidden waste, and leave behind only ripples of progress. Every trip is a chance to make a difference, build camaraderie, and preserve Kentucky’s aquatic treasures for generations to come. 

 

Let’s make waves where it counts.
