not easy. There are plenty of other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The scenic beauty of Clackamas / Multnomah County and the playfulness of the water have people coming here.
