Rivers
Willamette River – when it isn’t too crowded, Sellwood Riverfront Park is a great place for paddle boarding. Much further south on the river is Champoeg Park with great access to the river.
Sandy River – either park at the Dabney State Recreation Center or Lewis & Clark State Recreation Site, find a spot river side to cool off
Clackamas River – Carver Park is a great place to drift off with some tubes
Wilson River – pull off at Mills Bridge Drift Boat Launch for easy access to the river
