About Molalla River State Park

Molalla River State Park sits where the Willamette, Molalla, and Pudding rivers meet, near Canby. Visitors can hike, picnic on grassy fields, fish, launch a boat, and watch wildlife in floodplain habitat used by waterfowl, wading birds, and deer. A pet exercise area lets dogs run off leash. A ferry crossing of the Willamette lies a short walk downstream, and seasonal produce and flower stands operate in nearby farmland. Visitors should wear life jackets on the water and follow the emerald ash borer firewood rules, which apply within Clackamas County.
