Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival – Vendors
Special thanks to our whitewater equipment vendors for helping to make the Annual Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival a very special event! Many of the vendors are generously donating items to our silent auction and sponsoring the race events which allows us to offer these fun events at a greatly reduced rate which allows more people to get out on the river.
Some vendors will be offering on water boat demos. Click to learn more.

Stone Circle Cider
A Proper Cider
At Stone Circle Cider, we love everything about cider—its simplicity, its tradition, its drinkability and, most of all, the diverse array of complex and beautiful flavors it affords those that get their hands on the best stuff. In pursuit of this passion, we are thrilled to produce a line of ciders that incorporates all of these aspects in the way it has been made in Southwest England for over a thousand years…on the farm. We operate on our family farm, a beautiful property about 25 miles outside of Portland in Estacada, Oregon.
Carlos Birrieria
At Carlos Birriería we have a series of culinary proposals such as birria tacos, always accompanied with its rich consommé, quesabirrias, mulitas, quesagrandes, burritos, and even birria ramen, and for those who follow a ketogenic diet, we also have the “keto taco”, that it is meat wrapped in fried cheese.

Recretec
Simply put, we strive to build the best raft and cataraft frames on the market. What does that mean? It means that even though we’ve been doing this since 1972, there is no perfect frame. We’re constantly trying to improve a time tested product, which is not easy. The only way we can do that is to not only have passion for the outdoors where our products live, we also have to be excited everyday about fabrication and listen to our customers. Through thousands of hours of real world feedback and in house R&D, we believe we have succeeded in offering the most versatile range of adventure rafting products available today.

Many old friends and familiar faces (and a bunch of new ones) are attending the Festival this year. Listed above are the folks who’ve signed on so far. This list is growing as we get closer so check back.
Please take a few minutes and check out their web sites. If you see something you like call them and ask them to bring it out to the festival with them. The Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival is the very best opportunity to meet these fine folks and see up close and in person the latest and greatest gear they have to offer. Many will be offering special discounts for people attending the Festival.
Also, besides our vendors there will be several river awareness groups on hand to share their knowledge. Be sure to check them out and see how you can contribute to help in the ongoing battles to preserve our resources and the ever diminishing access we have as boaters.
