Hole in the Wall Access

Hole in the Wall Access is located at Highway 224 mile 41.0 on river right a short distance downstream of the Roaring River confluence. The site is a well-developed river access point opened in 2016 and managed by Portland General Electric for river runners, with a restroom facility and a good raft slide and launch area. It provides easy access for rafts and smaller craft and is a common put-in for the “Carnage Run,” particularly at lower flows or when playboating conditions are preferred. If the main raft launch is congested, kayakers can use a short trail at the downstream end of the site near the entrance to reach an alternate launch. American Whitewater worked to help formalize this site during the Clackamas Hydroelectric Project relicensing process, and the facility is developed and maintained by Portland General Electric as a license condition.
