Yankton Area Missouri River Cleanup
The Yankton Area Missouri River Clean Up is held in May of each year. The river clean up is based out of the boat ramp at Riverside Park. Volunteers gather to collect trash, lumber, tires, and scrap metal along both sides of the Missouri River from Gavins Point Dam to areas just downstream of Yankton. The annual Yankton Area Missouri River Clean Up makes the river cleaner and healthier for people and for fish and wildlife.
