About
Great scenery, wildlife, and some fun waves make the Lower Clackamas a wonderful introduction to Oregon rafting. The Lower Clackamas River is great for beginner rafting trips, perfect for families with smaller kids or groups just wanting a scenic, mellow day on the river.
We meet only 30 minutes from downtown Portland at Barton Park. Despite being so close to Portland, the river has a nice sense of isolation as it alternates between scenic sections and small, fun rapids. There is plenty of wildlife as well as side channels to explore, swim, and unwind.
