Our Upper Clackamas Full Day trip is a great way to get the full Clackamas River experience. The Clackamas is one of the premier white water rivers in Oregon and is within easy reach of anywhere in the Portland metro area. Our full day trip includes all the major rapids on the Upper Clackamas while still leaving time for a great, riverside bar-b-que lunch half-way through the trip.
Spring trips offer the biggest white water with large waves and powerful currents. Pools between each rapid provide a chance to regroup before powering through the middle of the next rapid. As the weather gets warmer in the summer, the rapids require more maneuvering but still provide plenty of opportunities to get wet.

All Clackamas River full day trips meet at the Moore Creek Boat Access Site on the Clackamas River. The site is located at MP35 on Hwy. 224, about 11 miles east of Estacada, OR. You can change here and leave dry clothes in your vehicle. Once done changing, we will proceed upstream to the launch area and Blue Sky will outfit everyone with a life jacket, paddle and a helmet (if requested). Before we launch, guides provide a safety talk as well as explain how to ride and paddle in the raft.
