Swing by North or South Welcome Station and the Golden Pond Visitor Center to grab a free trash bag and gloves. Then head out for your adventure—whether you’re hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, or just exploring—and help keep LBL beautiful by picking up litter (yes, even those old tires you spot!). At the end of your day, simply drop off your filled bag on your way out.
