Touring Clackamas County

Touring Clackamas CountyHere you’ll find information about visiting our area, reasons to live here, and places to visit while traveling or touring Clackamas County.

Clackamas County’s rich history comes to life in the museums and historic sights. The county is close to Portland and in the shadow of Mt. Hood, but with a lifestyle and visitor experience all its own.

We encourage you to visit the Sunrise Communities of Mt. Hood Territory. From county fairs and festivals to buckaroo rodeos, the area abounds with opportunity.  Tax-free retail therapy starts 12 miles south of PDX at Clackamas Town Center (Oregon’s largest regional shopping mall).  Enjoy shopping at the freshly-renovated mall or having a meal at one of the many restaurants.

Take a picnic lunch for a tour of the fertile east county area. Your tour will take you by country-side nurseries showcasing their lovely blooms, past dozens of Christmas tree, hazelnut and berry farms and color-drenched fields of wildflowers and cascading waterfalls. Some of the Pacific Northwest’s most spectacular sights await your eye in Clackamas County.
