Help park rangers keep the park and the lake clean with this Litter Patrol. Litter is bad for the wildlife on land and in the lake at Occoneechee State Park, and every piece picked up is a huge help to the environment. Come by the office for a garbage bag and some gloves, and see what you can find! Make sure to wear weather-appropriate clothing, closed toe shoes, and sunscreen.

Volunteers pick up litter.
