AccessTo reach the Clack: From I-205 exit onto Hwy 212 at Clackamas. After a few miles turn right onto Hwy 224 and continue through Estacada. You'll pass the reservoir and after a couple miles there is a truck scaling station. |
Putin DetailsContinue up Hwy 224. There are a number of alternate access points as you go upstream: At Bob's Hole, Fish Creek, Just above Hole in the wall, and at the Sandstone bridge. The upper put-in is at Sandstone bridge. Just before the river crosses this bridge, a gravel road takes off to the right. The put-in is just 50 yards down this road. |

Run Description [Season: Year-round]You can run the Clack year round, but it's usually pretty low (<800) in the summer. Moderate flows are in the 1500-4000 range. Big water when it's up high.
You can take a long day and do the whole run or just run sections. A popular short run is to put in at Fish Creek and take out at Bob's hole.
The named rapids go basically like this: Powerhouse, Narrows, Roaring River, Hole in the Wall, Fish Creek, Armstrong, Carter Bridge, Big Eddy, Rock n Roll, Toilet Bowl, Bob's Hole
