Johns Creek Headwaters Rivers Alive Cleanup
Since 1998. We won an award from Rivers Alive in 2009.

Johns Creek feeds Vaughn Lake by 3 springs. The cleanup section is from Vaugn Lake near Brookwood Rd to McGinnis Ferry Rd.

The creek is between Brookwood and Dear Lake / Bridle Ridge subdivsions in the backyards of the residents.
The cleanup is  for year round participation. Just go in your backyard, survery the creek and clean it up.

Follow these guidelines when working in the creek:

1. Get permission to work the creek when it is on someone else's property. If in doubt ask us and we will help determine if you can access the creek at that location. Much of the creek is on private property so be sure before you enter the creek.

2. Debris must be disposed of properly. Most plain garbage can be disposed of through your normal garbage pickup. Larger items require trips to the land fill. If you need advice or help ask via email and someone will assist you.Send your garbage bag count and list of debri to This email address is being protected from spambots.

3. Be careful and have a partner. Thousands of creekkeepers have no accidents so try to be one of them. Safety is your first priority when working in the creek. The sponsors of this event, the web site owners or Rivers Alive are not responsible for accidents and are not encouraging you to do dangerous activities. Some river debris can be dangerous like broken glass and metal pieces. Think safety first. Wear heavy duty shoes and use work gloves. Get help if needed.
