The official Clackamas Water Trail runs 22 miles along the lower section of the river, from Sandstone Bridge all the way to where it dumps into the Willamette at Clackamette Park in Oregon City. But if you zoom out a little, the river runs 83 miles total from its headwaters in Mt. Hood National Forest, and different stretches offer wildly different experiences. Upper river is technical and gnarly — whitewater folks live for it. Lower river is where the rest of us come to actually relax and have a good time.
