Green River Ranch 3851 Green River Cove Rd., Saluda

This year marks the 12th annual Women’s Green River Takeover — and instead of the usual group paddle, the event is teaming up with MountainTrue’s Green Riverkeeper for a special river cleanup day on Saturday, August 23.

Participants are invited to camp Friday and Saturday nights at the Green River Ranch (suggested donation: $20 to be given when you arrive to camp), and take part in a community raffle to help fund future Green Riverkeeper cleanup efforts. While this event centers the experiences of women in whitewater, it welcomes all genders who support the mission of getting more women on the river.
