Take Out

This take-out site on Eagle Creek serves paddlers finishing runs on a significant tributary of the Clackamas River system in Clackamas County, Oregon. Eagle Creek is a large river system (Stream Order 6) spanning 71 miles with a total elevation drop of 395 feet and an average gradient of 5.6 feet per mile. The creek drains a watershed of 519 square miles and maintains an average flow of 624 cubic feet per second with velocities around 2.56 feet per second, indicating moderate current conditions suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers.

Paddlers using this take-out should expect whitewater conditions appropriate for kayaks and canoes on a run featuring significant gradient and flow. The access point's location in Clackamas County provides connection to a well-established waterway system. Water conditions will vary seasonally based on snowmelt and rainfall patterns typical of the Pacific Northwest, with higher flows expected in spring and early summer. The moderate average velocity and gradient suggest Class II to Class III rapids are likely present on sections of this creek, making it suitable for paddlers with intermediate whitewater skills and experience.
