Clackamas River Picture

Close to Portland, Oregon, great intermediate whitewater, and a long season...the Clackamas River has it all!

The Clackamas River is one of the premier whitewater rivers in Oregon and is our most popular summer rafting trip. Lush old-growth forests line the bank of this steep canyon and reflect off the crystal clear water. Rapids like Powerhouse, Roaring River, Hole-in-the-Wall, and Rock 'n Roll are guaranteed to get your blood pumping while the waves in The Narrows, Carter Bridge, Toilet Bowl and Bob's Hole will have you screaming for more.

Spring trips offer the biggest whitewater with large waves and powerful currents. Pools between each rapid provide a chance to regroup before powering through the middle of the next rapid. As the weather gets warmer in the summer, the rapids require more maneuvering but still provide plenty of opportunities to get wet. There are plenty of places to stop and take a dip and if you are lucky you might learn how to "surf" your raft.

Clackamas River Picture Our unique 2 day trip includes rafting on the first day, riverside camping, and inflatable kayaking on the second day. All food is provided beginning with lunch on the first day and ending with lunch on the second day.

Another great way to experience the Clackamas is on our full-day trip rafting or inflatable kayaking trip complete with a great riverside lunch.

We also offer a morning and afternoon 1/2-day rafting trip.
