Clackamas River Rafting
Rafting on the Upper Clackamas River is famous for its numerous big rapids and easy access with close proximity to the Portland/Vancouver area! It’s perfect for those who are on a time budget. Since the Clackamas River drainage only has a peak of 3500’, the optimal time to raft the Clackamas River is in the spring and early summer months for larger rapids (from March through June). As the water levels begin to drop, the Clackamas River begins to change character and in the Summer months (July and August), the river becomes a tighter, more technical and very fun run! During the Summer months we run half-day trips on the Clackamas River, which is essentially an excerpt of the rivers’ best rapids!
