Description

Added by Rachel Davidson

Flat, waterside walkway at the intersection of the Clackamas and Willamette Rivers.

Clackamette Park is known for its prime destination right off of the freeway and across from Oregon City's most popular shopping area, but it's frequented for its public boat dock, RV facilities, and handicap-accessible picnic benches. While the rest of Portland's parks freeze over or flood, Clackamette is a safe bet for a scenic day on the water that the entire family will enjoy.

This 1.2 loop trail is paved and great for pedestrians, runners, bicyclists, and wheelchairs.

Dogs are only allowed on leash in the vicinity of the actual park, but to reach the Canemah Bluff Ove...
