I don't know if they have an official classification but I would call them at least a class 3 to 3+. I'm certain at high water they become class 4 since all of them are significant drops and Jack, Queen and King are so close together and there is a higher risk for a very long swim. Oh yeah, and watch out for downed trees blocking the entire river. There were 2 of those last December. Stay safe!

You didn't run Hollywood?

14ft with 20inch tubes

@@martinorlik thank you. I’ve got a 12 footer with 20 inch tubes that I’ve been wanting to do that float with.

@@jayt4290 Just a heads up, this river requires a certain level of skill. The difficulty varies with water level and there is always the possibility for wood in the river.

That's was something I created to secure the cooler between thwarts.

Thanks!

Hole-In-the-Wall to Moore Creek when the river is under 1,200 cfs. Sandstone bridge to Moore Creek when the river is above 1,200 cfs. but most people prefer to run that section above 2,000 cfs. in a raft.

I made the mistake of running the lower clackamas, (Mclver to Barton) in a 4 person Star raft last week. Had to pick up raft 4-5 times to pull across rocks. I knew I over did it when I saw a guy with a pool floaty paddling with a broom next to me. Appreciate the reply!

@@jakethetank9760 The upper Clack is a fun run but keep in mind the video at the top of this page was from last year and the water was a lot higher then (1,300 cfs.) It's currently running at around 800 cfs. Both the upper and lower rivers are runnable all summer if you know the lines and yes they both offer plenty of places to get stuck. Also keep in mind the upper river is considerably more difficult. Here is a link to a video that shows the upper Clack at a level closer to what it's currently running. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIfLm6t4rJmqfMk

Nope

Who’s the swimmer??

@@martinorlik who was the swimmer??

I have a good guess.

Thanks Chris.

@@martinorlik is that a super puma or a boat like it. I plan to row my super puma for clack fest this year and want to gauge what I should expect. Any tips or thoughts? Also cool channel I subbed, hey I have a channel too, whitewater adventure, just started the channel, festival will probably make it on there if I don’t forget my GoPro. That video was awesome btw. Keep it up

@@epicgaminglabs5629 The boat is a Maravia Diablo. It's a little longer and wider that the Super Puma. You'll have fun in the Super Puma. Enjoy!

Yeah I capsized when i did it.

I built it out of 1" ethafoam. First piece is glued on and covers the entire dry box. The "U" shape is made out of 2 more smaller rectangles glued together, cut out the U and then glued on top of the first piece. Yeah, it really helps me stay in my seat. I purchased the ethafoam at Andy and Bax www.andyandbax.com but that was a while ago. Hope this helps.

Good times

Absolutely. A good belt is advisable too.

14 feet

If you're asking what rafting company I have worked for the answer would be none of them. I only boat privately.

Yes, Dodge Park.

There is a lot more whitewater and longer runs in the area however it's usually class V.

Yeah, a memorable moment and this was the last time we took out at Fishermen's Bend.

Thanks but I did not R1 the whole thing. It was only my second time on this stretch of river. I lined my boat arround Drain Hole. I think that is the picket fence you mentioned. I also portaged the boulder chocked top part of Revenue then R2'd the bottom part with a friend. We got to run the rapid 2X.

The original put in up stream of the bridge is currently closed. You have to slide your boats down over a steep rocky bank on the downstream side of the bridge. The take out at Moore Creek is open.

Great video and editing, looks fun! Where would I put in and take out at for the run that you posted on this video?

Thank you David!

The creature craft incident happened 8 years ago.

It's hard to explain. I built it from conduit pipe and plastic cutting boards. This video will give you a better view. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6OceoycrsR1qdU

Thanks! Hard to believe but I counted only 6 trips plus a couple of clips from a fishing trip in this video. I usually have more whitewater days in a "normal year". I also left the camera at home on several class 2 fishing trips. Yeah KZbin is a very good tool for video scouting. Just making my contributions to the cause. I bet the Clackamas will be a zoo for a wile after they open it.
