The City of Galesburg Park Division, with assistance from Knox College, will host the 14th annual Lake Storey fall clean-up day on Saturday, October 20, 2018 from 8:00 a.m. to noon.
Volunteers are encouraged to gather anytime between 8:00 a.m. and noon at the East Boat Ramp, which is located on the east side of the Lake and accessed by taking Gatewood Lane off of North Henderson Street. City staff will be there to handout trash bags and provide direction. Hot chocolate, water, and doughnuts will be provided. The water level will be low as the lake is currently being lowered.

Lake Storey Park is a 411 acre community recreational facility on the north side of Galesburg, and includes playgrounds, ball fields, beach, campground, multipurpose trails, and the 130 acre lake known for its excellent fishing and boating opportunities. This is an outstanding opportunity for nature enthusiasts, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and other community service organizations to help preserve and enhance one of the area's most beautiful natural treasures.
