 - What to Bring and Wear
Shorts, T-shirts and sport sandals or tennis shoes
are usually suitable for summer Clackamas River trips. However, the water is
cold and sometimes days can be cool, especially if the wind comes up. Please
bring a sweater and wind breaker or rain gear in case you do get cold.
Synthetic jackets (pile) or wool sweaters are recommended. All of the above
mentioned clothing will get wet, therefore, be sure to bring an extra set of
clothes for after the trip.
In the spring you'll need all of the
clothing listed above as well as a wetsuit which is provided free of charge by
Destination Wilderness.
