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.

Great place to tube or just hang out by the water. You pay a parking fee but its well worth it for the rangers, clean up and bathrooms they provide. Come early on the weekends!!

We enjoy the river every year... Floating with family and friends making great memories....I cant 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 youre 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..

The scenery is beautiful. The river is not too deep, Id like to guess that it varies from 1ft of water to 10ft of water at the deep end. The current also isnt 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.

Great float. Not too intense we took our 3,5 and 7 year olds. Took about 5 hours. We stopped a couple times to swim. It was fun, well be back to float the river again from Barton down.

Pristine and calm water. Perfect place to swim. Its also a good spot to land your raft for a lunch or snack break.

We float through here on our way from Barton to Carver. Its fine - water is slow and the river is actually pretty wide here so it doesnt get crowded on hot summer days.Only bad thing is that theres not much of a beach to stop and play at. Plus, most of the land around here is private property anyway.

This was such a peaceful float. We went on a weekday and it was blissful, I think on a nice weekend it might be crowded.

This is an annual float stop. Relax and enjoy the drift. There are also trash bags and stops along the way. But some people can be obnoxious and loud when drunk; not always a kid friendly float. Otherwise, great place to relax.

At one time, before the invasion of domestic foreigners, this was a wonderful, relaxing way to spend ones time. The float from Milo McKiver State Park to Carver Park was awesome.90% of the river bank is private property. Even though the county provides trash bags for all river users, a huge majority of them dont want to deal with bringing their refuse out so they leave it on the private property where they stop. I only float Feldheimer to Barton so I only have to pull two bags of trash out.

They rented us a boat when there was about 6 inches of water in the river. When we got stuck and came back they pleaded ignorance. When we called before going they said that conditions were ideal.Let the buyer beware!
