About This Access Site
This take-out site on Clear Creek in Clackamas County, Oregon provides access to a significant whitewater river system. Clear Creek is a large river with a total length of nearly 94 miles, featuring substantial elevation drop of over 3,000 feet which creates dynamic water conditions throughout its course. The creek drains an area of 1,015 square miles and maintains an average flow of about 188 cubic feet per second, making it a notable waterway in the region. The average gradient of 34.1 feet per mile indicates consistent and varied rapids suitable for whitewater paddling.

As a designated take-out location, this site serves paddlers completing whitewater runs on Clear Creek. The coordinates place it in Clackamas County near the lower section of the creek system. Boaters should be prepared for the river's characteristics including strong current, variable water conditions, and the technical nature of a stream order 7 river. Water velocity averages 2.56 feet per second, though individual sections will vary significantly based on gradient and flow conditions.

Paddlers using this take-out should have appropriate whitewater skills and equipment.
