Creek Week
Intro to Creek Week
Creek Week is a week-long celebration of local waters throughout North Carolina. The Third Annual Rowan Creek Week will take place August 21-28, 2021. In conjunction with multiple environmental organizations and local municipal departments, Creek Week offers recreational, educational, and volunteer opportunities to allow everyone to enjoy and contribute to healthy waters in our area.

From guided hikes, kayak trips, and stream clean-ups to DIY workshops, historical presentations, and animal programs, each event is an opportunity to educate residents and to build awareness around the importance of our water resources.
