One-Pattern Steelhead Tournament
The Annual Clinton River Steelhead One-Pattern Fishing Tournament is an opportunity to join local fisherman and river enthusiasts to celebrate the Clinton River’s annual steelhead run.

River Day
Every year in early June, individuals, businesses, community groups, and local governments across the watershed join forces on River Day to enhance and celebrate the Clinton River and Lake St. Clair. Activities range from nature hikes, canoe trips, fishing derbies, and fly fishing lessons to storm drain stenciling, river clean-ups, habitat restoration, and native landscaping.
Lake St. Clair Clean Boating Campaign
Clean water, fantastic fishing and the natural beauty of Lake St. Clair are the main attractions of this crown jewel of outdoor recreation in Southeast Michigan. The Lake St. Clair Clean Boating Campaign is in partnership with the Anchor Bay Yachting Association and MacRay Harbor to bring boater best practices to Lake St. Clair.
Annual Fundraiser
Funding for the Clinton River and Lake St. Clair is so important, so efforts like the CRWC fundraiser Walk-A-Thon benefit our programs and services. Your participation is greatly appreciated and your donations will be used to support important programs within the watershed. As a team member, you will help raise money by raising pledges to support our cause.
Clinton River Dinner Cruise
Set sail with us from Mount Clemens and cruise down the Clinton River on the Clinton Friendship while enjoying a delicious meal, a warm summer breeze and an evening of entertainment. This event is a fun-filled evening which benefits the Clinton River Watershed Council and its programs.
Clinton Clean-Up
After playing in the watershed all summer long, join CRWC and our volunteer coordinators to collect litter from the riverbanks and parks, remove invasive species, and manage woody debris during our annual Clinton Clean-Up event. Clean-Up events will be included on our calendar, in the Clinton Clean-Up event section of this website along with promotion through our email updates.
Winter Stonefly Research
Come join the Clinton River Watershed Council as we search for the Winter Stonefly. These aquatic insects are most active during colder months and their presence in the river indicates good water quality. Our search will help add to our Adopt-a-Stream data and will provide a chance to learn about the ecology and conditions of our local streams.
Presentation & Workshops
Throughout the year we offer various presentation & workshops throughout the watershed to learn about current conditions and ways you can help. You may also request a presentation or workshop for your organization.
Other Events
Other events are scheduled throughout the year by CRWC and by other environmental agencies and businesses. These may include Adopt-A-Stream and Stream Leader events, Steelhead Fishing, and other outings. Watch our calendar, email updates, and event updates for details.
