Clackamas River Scenic Waterway

"Love it!! Very beautiful scenery along the way when floating. Be sure to pick up after yourself to keep it clean. Wear a life jacket as well. There are spots that are deep with small Rapids."

"We enjoy the river every year... Floating with family and friends making great memories....I can't think of a better way to spend a warm summer afternoon then in the Cool Waters of the Clackamas River.The wildlife that you see along the way is beautiful please be respectful and give them their space .lots of cranes and geese and ducks along the way. If you're lucky enough you get to see a bald eagle flying above. The homes upon the cliff sides are amazing to look at, but please be respectful... please pack out what you pack in. The parking lot can get full so if you want a closer spot to launch your raft or inner tube on the boat ramp you might want to get there early. Due to the covid-19 to play structures are closed down but there are plenty of picnic tables and covered areas for family gatherings and barbecuing. The cost to get into the park is $6. They also offer campgrounds throughout the park above.. Also the picturesque scenery of Mount Hood as you are floating down the blue rivers of the Clackamas is Beautiful.."

"Best float! So much fun doing Barton to Carver.... Also- someone has been stacking stones right before you get to Carver.... it's gorgeous!!"

"The scenery is beautiful. The river is not too deep, I'd like to guess that it varies from 1ft of water to 10ft of water at the deep end. The current also isn't very strong so you dont have to worry about being swept away. Keep in mind that you need a life jacket if you are in any kind of raft or floating device that carries more than one person. You do not need a life jacket if you are in a single person intertube. No Alcohol is allowed. Family friendly destination."

"We went floating twice this week, once during the week once on the weekend. Seeing people misused the area and not respecting the property owners along the river. However the family had a good time together and it was a simple cheep day. We will do again."
