From Indian Lake to the Ohio River
Clean Sweep of the Great Miami River
Locations
With the Great Miami River being 170 miles long, we have split the Clean Sweep in smaller sections, a northern section from the headwaters to Franklin, and a southern section from Franklin to the Ohio. Both sections complete the cleanup at differing times during the year, allowing you to participate in two seasons.

Dates will change to 2025 below once the sites are confirmed. We will have the register links live by July 4th.
