We float the clarion all the time. Kayaks, canoes, tubes, we've done it down the clarion. Spring time is the best as it gets pretty low late summer. Good fishing and a good time the whole way down. There's rapids called the x,y,z but they're nothing crazy. Super simple float with a lot of camping spots along the way. There's a rope swing between lazy boy and Portland mills. And and even better rope swing a little before the irwin canoe launch. Good fun and always a good time.
