Big Thicket National Preserve

Trash Clean-up Canoe Trip (CANCELLED)

*Due to the current lapse in federal government appropriations, all events at Big Thicket National Preserve are cancelled until funding has been restored and normal operations resume.

Help keep our waters beautiful as you canoe!

Volunteer with us as you paddle along a scenic waterway inside Big Thicket National Preserve. Learn canoe skills, enjoy the beauty, and help keep our waterways clean by picking up trash along the way.

We provide canoes, paddles, life jackets, trash pick-up supplies, and rangers to guide you. Please bring water, snacks, water-ready shoes, and any other gear you might need for a day outside. Trips typically take 3-4 hours.

  • We have 16 seats available per trip. Please limit one family per reservation.
