Roaring River, Oregon

Description: The Wild and Scenic Roaring River runs 13.7 miles from its headwaters to its confluence with the Clackamas River, and 4.6 miles on the South Fork of the Roaring River, from its headwaters to its confluence with the Roaring River. Except for at the confluence, the river is extremely remote and difficult to access. The purity of the water and the pristine condition of the river corridor are unusual outside designated wilderness areas. The river provides excellent habitat for native cutthroat trout, late run coho, and late run winter steelhead.

Not only does the corridor contain an unusually diverse array of wildlife habitat, but it also provides important habitat for the threatened northern spotted owl. Dispersed camping is permitted throughout the forest, and a developed campground is at the confluence with the Clackamas River.


Location: Access to the river only at its confluence, at Roaring River Campgruond on OR 224 17 miles southeast of Estacada.
