Document - Clackamas River Hydroelectric Project: Flows and Whitewater Recreation
Abstract
The Clackamas River drains more than 940 square miles of the Lower Willamette River watershed before joining the Willamette River near Portland. The Clackamas River Hydroelectric Project includes four hydroelectric developments in the basin, one on the Oak Grove Fork and three on the main stem Clackamas just east of Estacada, Oregon (about 25 miles southeast of Portland). The four developments are operated by Portland General Electric (PGE), which is applying to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for a license to continue to operate these facilities (FERC No. 2195). Recreation users, particularly whitewater boaters, are interested in the potential effects of power generation on recreation in the basin. This report contains separate sections on Three Lynx low flow boating and Bob’s Hole kayak playboating.Description
