We're taking tiny, but that's where I spent most of my time.

The wooden bridge over into the garden was cool though and I feel like it will look 90% better in the spring.

During the summer you could skate outside the grounds of Oaks Amusement Park, and when the weather turned, they offered skating inside the covered (but side vented) Lloyd Center parking garage. Skating was broken up into 2 hr sessions with a 50 person max. They have speakers set up playing music (this works great at Oaks Park but the sound does not carry well in the parking garage so I usually bring my own headphones and music there.) They have two options: $20 a person with equipment rental (skates and pads) $10 a person if you bring your own equipment or you are just going to walk. If you are bringing your own equipment I highly recommend the softest outdoor wheels you have. The Lloyd center parking garage is surprisingly rough. I used my hybrid wheels the first time and made it work, but the experience was much more pleasant the second time on my gummy wheels.

The only downside is that many of the sites are next to each other, so this campground doesn't afford much privacy.

The camp sight is small, gorgeous and overlooks the river. Clean and well kept. We felt fortunate to find a spot, last minute, on a Friday in August. The off site camp host (from Lazy Bend) is a lovely man. Very kind and seems to love his job. The issue was: we were robbed at 3 am. We left our cooler on the picnic table, packed all other things away (thank goodness) and our cooler was stolen. Upon discovery, we walked around and asked if anyone else had things stolen and 2 other camp sights (that we spoke with) had coolers with beer stolen. Yeah, so our cooler had our beer and food. All of our food. Several people heard and saw a few cars driving around at 3 am but didn't realize what was going on. I've told several people about this experience and apparently this is common when camping near Estacada. I guess my one-star review is really for the town of Estacada but I don't think Yelp has a review options for an entire town.

I especially love Carver Park, because there is a stream that flows into it which is not too deep and my dog can normally chase ball all the way across it. When I went to the park yesterday, the water levels were so high that there were like a torrent.

Carver boat ramp seems like just another simple country river boat launch, but stop by on any…read moreaverage summer weekend day and witness the most awesome collection of helmets, rednecks, river-rats, and other assorted Americana. Carver is the take-out spot for the infamous McIver-Carver and Barton-Carver floats down the Clackamas river. This mostly (seemingly) calm 3-5 hour float takes you down the Clackamas amongst beautiful green trees and throngs of beer-drinking teenagers to thirty-somethings. What should otherwise be a fairly off-the-beaten-path float becomes as crowded as your average day at the water-park, but with way more beer and moronity. To be fair, it's an insanely fun float, and were it not wall-to-wall with people, the water would be decently clean. The surface makes it look like a calm river, but people die on it on just about a weekly basis. That's not to say that you can't chill out and have a safe float. A little respect for mother nature goes a long way. But come the end of your float, hop on out by the time you reach the boat launch. That's presumably where you parked your escape vehicle earlier in the day, it's where hundreds of drunken post-float kids congregate to decide where they'll be continuing the party, and it's the location where I watched a mother cry in agony when she was told that her child had just been sucked under about 50 yards downstream under the bridge (past the boat ramp). It was intense. Not much of anything awesome to say about the park/launch itself, other than that it has bathrooms and if you get there early enough, places to park one of your cars (you'll need it at the end of the float to go back up and get the car you left upstream at Barton!) Be safe, have fun, and don't swim downstream under that big-ass bridge! A river this large deserves your respect.

We just called from Oregon City and they were able to fit us on within the hour. It is a funky course. Definitely some hills to climb and uniquely placed tee boxes. You may feel like a mountain goat after your round. Friendly and approachable. The owner is a former Progress Downs Pro from Beaverton. I didn't know him, but recognized the name. He was busy, shop and amenities were closed for COVID. They did offer beers and snacks though, for purchase. There's one spot, with a bit of a blind shot and you gotta ring a bell to let the group behind you - "okay to tee off" Look up and you may see some skydivers descending.

Not the corporate type. I like that.
