Kayaking at Camp Agawam? Help us keep our waterways clean!
Have you ever thought about taking your kayak out at Camp Agawam? Now is a great time to plan your next paddling adventure! Stop by our boat launch and check out our brand-new sign, made possible through funding from Michigan State University Extension and their Michigan Clean Boats, Clean Waters program.
Here in Orion Township, we know how important it is to protect and preserve our waterways. Invasive aquatic species can harm native wildlife, disrupt ecosystems, and be costly and difficult to manage once they take hold. That’s why we’re helping educate boaters about three simple but important steps: Clean, Drain and Dry! Taking a few minutes to clean your watercraft and equipment, drain all water, and let everything dry before moving to another body of water can help stop the spread of invasive species. Even fish don’t want their lakes invaded!
A big thank-you to Michigan State University Extension for partnering with us to support healthy waterways and make this new sign possible!
Don’t pack away your paddle just yet! There are still sunny fall days to enjoy on the water, but the season is winding down. Grab your kayak, soak up the last of the fall scenery, and make one more trip to Camp Agawam before winter arrives! Just remember to Clean, Drain and Dry to help keep our waterways healthy for seasons to come.
