Water Play
River lovers can challenge the sometimes wild (but always picturesque) Clackamas River with rafts, canoes or kayaks. For fishing enthusiasts, Estacada Lake offers a boat ramp and an ADA fishing dock, and the Clackamas River has steelhead and Chinook runs.
The Clackamas Fish Hatchery is located at McIver Park, and self-guided tours of the hatchery guide visitors through the life-cycle of Chinook salmon and steelhead.
SUP and Kayak Rentals
Rentals and guided tours are offered by Clackamas River Outfitters at Estacada Lake through contract with Oregon State Parks. Information: 503-586-3241 or clackamasriveroutfitters.com

Spent four nights and 5 days camping out at the campground it was one of the most peaceful camping experiences I've had in a long time.
This state park is HUGE! You can literally hike for a day. We have a baby so we only hiked for two hours. Very baby carrier friendly. We looped through the Escada trail to rivermill trail. It’s beautiful even in the winter.
Stopped briefly at upper viewpoint area. Thought I heard traffic but no - the Clackamas River! Lovely views of both the rivers and Mount Hood. Very clean and well maintained area. Will be back!
Disc golf isn't MY thing, but I enjoy hiking... equestrian trails aren't MY thing, but I enjoyed the fish hatchery. Picnics aren't MY thing, but I enjoyed the views of Helens, Adams, and of course Hood... my point is, there's something here for everybody.
Small area for off leash dogs, signs of deer and other wildlife in the park.
Small day use fee.
Beautiful park with many trails, large shady campsites and an off leash dog area. Do not miss the bat barn and the somewhat creepy carving of the likeness of Milo mciver himself
