For Fun Just Add Water

Some locations and activities along the Clackamas River are unavailable due to the 2020 Riverside Fire. Please check with local guides and services before visiting so you can get the most enjoyment out of your trip.


From fishing for salmon to shooting rapids or kayaking on a peaceful lake, if you’re into water sports, then Oregon’s Mt. Hood Territory is the place for you. 

Our lakes and rivers are fantastic for beginner to expert level fishing. Utilize our fishing guides to locate the best spot for you depending on the season.

For more of an adrenaline fueled time on the water – the Wild and Scenic Clackamas River is renowned as a top whitewater rafting destination. Our guides and outfitters can get you set on an epic trip down the class III and IV rapids. Clackamas River Outfitters has expanded and have a wealth of knowledge for the area. 

Visit in May when hundreds of people arrive for the annual Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival located just 30 minutes from downtown Portland. 

For flat-water fun try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on our rivers and lakes. Or take a kayak up the Willamette River from Oregon City to get a water-level view of the historic Willamette Falls. eNRG Kayaking has all the equipment and expert guides to ensure a fantastic experience. For more information about paddling the Willamette River including itinerary ideas and safety tips, check out the Willamette Water Trail website. 

Please note: The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is making seismic improvements to the I-205 Abernethy Bridge in Oregon City. Bridge construction may impact your experience on the land and water in Oregon City. eNRG Kayaking is open for business, but please allow a little extra time for one-lane traffic delays accessing their office at Sportcraft Marina.

When you are ready to rest after a full day on the water, we've got you covered. From beautiful vacation rentals to scenic campsites there's a plethora of options to rest and recharge before your next adventure. 

Be it fly fishing, trolling or paddling the day away, if you’re angling for fun on the water, then get here already!
