Clackamas River
The lower Clackamas is the perfect place to enjoy a float!
Whether you are looking for a scenic float filled with wildlife (ospreys, herons, fish swimming through the crystal clear water, and even bald eagle) or looking for an introduction to the world of river-running, the Lower Clackamas is the place for you! Beginning off of Olallie Butte and flowing through the Mt. Hood National Forest, the Clackamas River is a classic whitewater river in close proximity to Portland. This trip will take you through a tranquil stretch of easy class I-II rapids with scenic views of eagle nests and Mt. Hood. This trip lasts about 2.5 hours. The Clackamas River is about a 20 minute drive from Portland. We typically meet at Clackamette Park in Oregon City at the confluence of the Willamette River and the Clackamas River.
eNRG will provide all the essential gear needed for the trip. All you need to bring is sun protection and some extra water!

We do offer tandem kayaks for a child to partner with an adult. If a child is small (around 4 years old) the parent can often paddle with the child in their lap.
- eNRG Kayaking’s number one goals is to minimize risk on our trips. For this reason, eNRG Kayaking reserves the right to postpone trips due to flooding river conditions or inclement weather (high winds & lightning). We appreciate your understanding when Mother Nature decides not to cooperate with our schedule. eNRG Kayaking reserves the right to reschedule a trip due to low enrollment in a course.
