    that many runs in this state are not easy. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling rivers. Clear Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Oregon 211 to Redland Road stretch is the only one. The
wild scenery of the Central Cascade Range is great. This stretch has has enough mileage, good for a one day paddling trip. The put-in location is a short drive from Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, as you can see on the road map further down. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more.
