After the water goes down at HRP

If you like driftwood, mud and plastic litter, Harris Riverfront Park is the place to be.

But it's always that way after the Ohio River goes down. Sometime before Memorial Day, someone will be out there with a firehose cleaning the place off before the unofficial beginning of summer.
