The Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival was the occassion for the opening of the new day-use area at Carter Falls on the upstream river left side of the Carter Bridge. For many years this site was a field of uneven rip rap that was hard to walk on. American Whitewater worked with Portland General Electric to improve and formalize the area as a day-use pull-out and location to view the river including for spectators of the Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival. The COVID-19 pandemic and wildfires delayed the fomal opening of the site that was celebrated at this year's festival.
