About the clackamas river
The Clackamas River is a 83-mile long tributary of the Willamette River in northwestern Oregon. It has a rich history, including use by indigenous tribes for fishing and transportation, and later by European settlers for logging and mining. The river is known for its hydrology, with an average flow of 1,100 cubic feet per second and several significant dams and reservoirs. These include the River Mill Dam, which provides hydroelectric power, and the Timothy Lake reservoir, which is used for water storage and recreational activities. The Clackamas River is a popular destination for fishing, swimming, kayaking, and camping, and it also supports agricultural uses such as irrigation and livestock grazing. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect the river's natural ecosystems and wildlife.
