NY Canal Clean Sweep

• Friday, April 19, 2024, 12:00 PM - Sunday, April 21@ 12:00 PM

Canal Clean Sweep is an annual statewide clean-up event that occurs along major greenways across New York State to celebrate Earth Day. Clean-ups primarily occur along the Erie and Champlain Canalways, the Glens Falls Feeder Canal, the Black River Feeder Canal, and the Rochester Riverway.

Sponsored by theNew York State Canal Corporation, Parks & Trails New York has been responsible for executing Canal Clean Sweep for 19 years. Typically, this weekend witnesses 100+ spring clean-ups along major greenways, in canalside parks, and in other public areas throughout the Canal corridor.

In 2024, PTNY will be hosting Canal Clean Sweep the weekend of April 19-21, 2024. Last year more than 150 clean-up events were held along the Canal and Canalway Trail, with an estimated turnout of over 3,500 volunteers! We hope to get more sweepers out on the trail in 2024. From scout clubs to Rotary and Kiwanis chapters, Adopt-a-Trail groups, nature clubs, college students, church groups, elected officials, sports teams, and local businesses- we all come together to show our love for the Canal and Canalway Trail System.
