Description
Clackamas Falls is an extremely technical and consequential Class V+ drop with a mandatory narrow line between massive undercut rocks and a powerful hydraulic. Paddlers must execute a precise entry with minimal margin for error, threading a tight slot that requires expert boat control and instant decision-making to avoid potentially fatal pin or recirculation zones.
