I live in Clackamas (the city) as well as the county. Clackamas has fairly nice people, it has this really neat big city trying to be small vibes. My biggest complaint is how terrible people drive. I have seen more people run red lights since living here than I have in my whole life. Overall though, Clackamas is great if you're looking for something that's got the beauty of nature never too far from your backdoor, a quick ride to the Clackamas Town Center, a whole wide variety of delicious (and local) food joints, good beer, or just a beautiful day on the river. Clackamas is the place you want to be if you want to avoid the actual big city (Portland), but also don't want to be in the country.
I just moved back to the Pacific North West, this area is exactly what i missed so much. Clackamas County has so much beautiful nature everywhere with so many outdoor activities available. Hiking trail, biking trails, water activities and so much more awaiting you. There is lots of food diversity including awesome food carts everywhere, mot are set up in permanent stations with seating and beverage options.
Great for outdoors and nature lovers. Plenty of hiking trails, bike safe roads, and a whole lot of camping opportunities. There are many waterfalls, lakes, mountains, and all sorts of other out of the way attractions to stumble upon. Offers a nice small-town feel but isn't very far from Downtown Portland for city life adventures. There are all sorts of farmers markets, bazaars, and small businesses to explore and buy from. Schools are currently overfilled but many districts are actively working to get class sizes down. Fun activities can be found for all ages such as sports teams, archery lessons, community theatres, and much more. I personally love the wide variety of opportunities presented here.
