The inaugural Pack A Dam Lock (P.A.D.L.) event was hosted in 2021 in coordination with Cannelton Lock & Dam and the U.S. Coast Guard. Guiding 100 paddlers down the Ohio River and locking through the Dam provide many people the chance to do something new in a safe environment. This event is held on the last Saturday in July.

How We Make An Impact
Impact Program
The Perry County Impact Program was created to unite us as a community, to learn from one another, to share diverse perspectives, and to do our part in keeping nature wild. The mission of the program is to build community, practice better disposal methods, and educate the importance of recycling.
The goal of this program is to provide community events the opportunity to operate nearly waste-free.
Ohio River Sweep
Make an impact with Paddle Perry as they prepare for the boating season by cleaning up the boat ramps, trails and roadways around the tri-state area.
Follow the link below to inquire about organizing your own cleansweep.
Can Collection
We collect cans to help offset operational costs of the nonprofit. Donate by dropping off bags of cans at on location behind Radio Shack in Cannelton, IN. Look for our green and white drop off sign.
#ImpactDay
We provide ways you can make a difference on and off the water in Southern Indiana year-round.
As Wild Keeper Advocates, we submit how much trash our group picks up collectively each month. Want to help? It’s easy!

Service hours are offered to all individuals and youth groups, too!
