At Mayday Landing on Howell Road Hotchkiss Road Landing a WWALS member saw the beautiful Alapaha River in Echols Lanier County.

But she also saw trash.

ARWT Access

That’s a shame for such a conveniently located spot, a mile upstream from Naylor Boat Ramp and 12 miles downstream from Burnt Church Landing, with many beaches and small rapids in between, on the Alapaha River Water Trail (ARWT).

I will try contacting Echols Lanier County to see if they have a cleanup crew.

If not, maybe WWALS can organize a cleanup there.

Meanwhile, Mayday Landing Hotchkiss Road Landing is a great party spot, but people could pick up their beer and soft drink containers.

Single-use trash, The fake Crying Indian, and what can be done about that

Even better, how about we stop fast food and beverage makers and vendors from using all that single-use packaging.
