Supporting Low Impact Recreation on the Clackamas River

Although the Lower Clackamas River is a wonderful recreation resource in the Portland Metro area, we also want to remind folks that the River is a drinking water source for over 300,000 people.
Working with our recreation partners we have developed an online/mobile and interactive Clackamas Water Trail website.

You are KEY!

For the 5th year in a row, the CRWP are asking our customers to participate in our “Fish On the Run, Irrigation Done!” annual summer watering campaign, to help the Clackamas River by reducing or shutting-off outdoor watering by the beginning of September for the fall Coho and Chinook salmon migration.

Currently our conservation meter is RED telling us the river levels are significantly low and we all need to “Reduce or turn off outdoor watering to keep water in the in the river for the Coho and Fall Chinook species.”

RED CONSERVATION ACTIONS:

  Shut down all outdoor watering, spot water when needed
  Take your car to a commercial carwash which recycles the water
  Shut off all outdoor water features
  Do not allow water to run off driveways, sidewalks, or down the street
