The 7th annual High Rock Lake CleanSweep [@HRLCleanSweep] is set for Saturday, September 21st from 9 AM – 3 PM. This is the only lake event that ties in both counties, Davidson and Rowan, for a unified collaborative effort that benefits the region. The HRLCleanSweep will serve as the official kickoff event for Rowan and Davidson County Creek Weeks.

High Rock Lake is the second largest lake in North Carolina, with more than 300 miles of shoreline. The lake is formed by the Yadkin River and feeds into Badin and Tillery, respectively. The High Rock dam catches most of the larger debris which could remain in High Rock Lake. But there needs to be more of a community effort to remove random debris floating on the lake, from footballs and beverage cans to flip flops and even pieces of docks. High Rock Lake is situated between Davidson and Rowan Counties and provides recreation opportunities for residents and visitors alike, adding to the economy of more than a dozen municipalities.
