Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival - About Us

Whitewater Festival on the Clackamas River - Oregon

The Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival was started in 1984 by the Northwest Rafter's Association (NWRA). It's a weekend of fun, exciting, and safe whitewater activities. This year marks the 25th anniversary of this great tribal gathering.

The mission statement of the North West Rafters Association is to:

  • Promote boating safety and education
  • Advocate equal access to all streams and rivers
  • Committed to the conservation and preservation of our nation's rivers and streams.

Beyond these noble missions the NWRA looks to gather boaters together for a rip roaring good time doing what we all love to do. This is the goal of the annual Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival - to provide you with a place to learn, to challenge, to bond and simply spend a GREAT weekend with your fellow boaters. Please volunteer for the festival!
