Milo McIver State Park

Milo McIver state Park provides fishing, hiking, camping, horseback riding, picnicking and boating with two launch
points with about 5 river miles in between on the Clackamas River. It is located only 23 miles or 45 minutes from
Portland and has a dedicated following among visitors seeking quiet, quality natural areas close to home. Park
includes 951 acres of open areas and wooded forest; 14 miles of pedestrian trails; 6 miles of equestrian trails; 27-
hole disk golf course; 44 camp sites for campers, RVs, and 9 tent only camp sites; ADA fishing access. Upper
McIver Ramp to Lower McIver Ramp is a 45 minute entirely within McIver Park. It includes one or two easy class
II+ rapids and then a mellow float with some easy class I rapids. It is very popular for those who are staying in the
park overnight or want to do several laps. This shuttle is so short that it can be done with a bicycle. The park is
also used to launch guided fishing trips starting from here and ending in Barton. The Park also offers “Let’s Go
Kayaking” events that provides kayaking lessons and natural history tours in the Park.

system. The park has 112 camping sites; a bunkhouse; 3-day use areas; 1.6 miles of hiking trails; fishing
opportunities in several locations and a single lane boat ramp.
