Paddling near Gresham, OR
On the eastern edge of the Portland metro in Multnomah County, Gresham puts paddlers between two powerhouse rivers: the Sandy River, which runs roughly 55 miles from Mt. Hood to the Columbia just east of town, and the Columbia River Gorge. Add the Clackamas and Willamette rivers within a short drive and the range spans flatwater SUP to Class IV whitewater.
