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.
Clackamas County is a very safe place to live, especially in areas like Clackamas and Happy Valley. Crime rate is low and neighbors are constantly watching out for each other. The schools in Clackamas County are also great schools. I've had good experiences at Clackamas High School, and most teachers are supportive, and the graduation rate is high. However, there isn't many activities to do around here. Teens don't have many places to go out to and visit besides places like Clackamas Town Center and the movie theater. I would like to see more attractions added around Clackamas Town Center, besides restaurants and shopping stores.
A suburban to urban part of Oregon that avoids many of the drawbacks of urban Portland but is close enough to access all the attractions a large city provides. Located in western Oregon which is one of the prettiest areas in the county. Clackamas county policies seem to be well grounded and follow common sense. Overall the county is well run, well maintained and positioned in a spectacular and privileged part of the country.
