Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival - Contacts
The initial Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival was held in 1984 by an informal group of rafters calling them selves the "Oregon River Rats". Planned by Russ Snively and friends with the support of volunteers from the Northwest Rafters Association, the "River Rats" were determined to challenge each other to a contest of skill running a race through the Carter Falls section of the Upper Clackamas River east of Estacada, Oregon.
These races were the first whitewater slalom raft race events in the country. Within a few years the NWRA became the event supporter and has been running it annually ever since. This annual event has grown over the years to include the entire whitewater community with rafting, kayaking and river boarding events. Education, camaraderie and plain old fashioned family fun are the goals.
