Its 27-hole disc golf course at the Riverbend Day-use Area hosts the Beaver State Fling, a professional disc golf tournament. The Clackamas has steelhead and Chinook runs, and the Clackamas Fish Hatchery, which the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife runs inside the park, offers self-guided tours through the life cycle of Chinook salmon and steelhead. Hikers and horse riders share miles of trails; bicycles are allowed only on paved trails and roads.
