River Mill Park

River Mill Park offers convenient access to Estacada Lake and the scenic Clackamas River system. The park features multiple launch options including a boat ramp for motorized vessels, a dedicated non-motorized kayak and canoe launch, and a fishing dock. This makes it an excellent put-in point for paddlers of all types looking to explore the area's pristine mountain-fed waters.

From this access point, kayakers and canoeists can venture downstream into the renowned Clackamas Wild and Scenic River, which features approximately 13 miles of Class II-IV whitewater rapids. The river's picturesque canyon setting and consistent flow make it suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers seeking a challenge. For those preferring calmer waters, Estacada Lake itself offers protected paddling and fishing opportunities, with healthy steelhead and Chinook runs attracting anglers throughout the season.

The park's well-developed facilities and proximity to Milo McIver State Park make it a practical basecamp for extended river trips. Easy access from both the boat ramp and dedicated kayak launch means you can quickly get on the water, whether you're planning a leisurely paddle or an adventurous whitewater expedition down Oregon's scenic Upper Clackamas River.
