CRBC’s Project Updates

J-Creek Side Channel

In summer of 2023, CRCB will construct the “J” Creek Side Channel Reconnection project along the Clackamas River. The project will involve restoring a historic side channel and its riparian habitat off Clackamas River Drive downriver from Carver Park. This side channel will create vital habitat for fish and wildlife.
