Fishing is another popular pastime. Folks will tell you that Barton Park is one of the best sites on the mid-Clackamas. Steelhead, trout and salmon could easily be the highlight of your campsite feast tonight.

Rafting is very popular. Many enjoy the adventurous trip starting about 6 miles upriver at McIver Park. The boat ramp provides excellent riv er access.
