Each spring, as the snow melts and boats hit the water, Snake River Fund rallies experienced boaters for the Spring Sweep, an annual river cleanup dedicated to the removal of winter trash in the river corridor. Floating from South Park to Pritchard, participants work together to remove trash and debris, ensuring a cleaner, healthier, and more aesthetic river for all. This event often draws a strong showing from the fishing guide community, whose deep connection to the river fuels their commitment to giving back. More than just a cleanup, Spring Sweep marks the start of the boating season with a shared spirit of stewardship and camaraderie.
