Explore the Patoka Watershed via Google My Maps! While the Patoka Lake Clean Sweep project focuses on the Patoka Lake-Patoka RIver watershed (the yellow area on the map), volunteer efforts help to improve water throughout the entire Patoka Watershed. All the precipitation that lands in the Patoka Lake-Patoka River watershed eventually ends up in Patoka Lake. From there it travels downstream on the Patoka River until it meets a channel of the Wabash RIver, and then the Ohio River, then the Mississippi before finally ending up in the Gulf of Mexico! This is why clean-up efforts are so important, everything we do can benefit our  neighbors downstream! Don't forget to toggle the layers in the menu on the left side of the map for more information!
