For the past two years, CCPRD has coordinated the Crook County Cleanup focusing efforts on both open spaces and waterways in Crook County. The 2009 Cleanup, titled "Down by the Riverside", cleaned up sections of the Crooked River, Ochoco Creek, and Prineville Reservoir. The 2010 Cleanup expanded to include Ochoco Lake, the Youth Angling Pond, downtown Prineville, and the old railroad grade.
