The Collawash River is a Script error: No such module "convert". tributary of the Clackamas River in the U.S. state of Oregon. Formed by the confluence of Elk Lake Creek and the East Fork Collawash River in the Cascade Range, it flows generally north-northwest from source to mouth through the Mount Hood National Forest.[1][2] The largest tributary of the upper Clackamas, it provides about a third of bigger river's low-flow volume.[3] About 35 percent of its watershed of Script error: No such module "convert". is protected as wilderness.[3]
Fish habitat in the watershed is rated good to excellent.[3] Catch-and-release fishing for trout is allowed on the main stem and the Hot Springs Fork tributary, but the streams are closed to fishing for salmon and steelhead.[4] For whitewater runners, the river is considered as two or three sections which range from class II to class V on the International Scale of River Difficulty. Suggested flow range is Script error: No such module "convert"..[5][6][7]
Course
Formed by the confluence of Elk Lake Creek and the East Fork Collawash River, the river loses about Script error: No such module "convert". in elevation over the Script error: No such module "convert". between source and mouth. Flowing generally to the north-northwest, the river receives Dunno Creek and Jazz Creek from the right bank, both near river mile (RM) 11 or river kilometer (RK 18), then Russ Creek and Blitzen Creek, both from the right. Happy Creek enters from the right at about RM 8 (RK 13), then Dickey Creek from the left bank, and Buckeye Creek from the right.[1][2]
Peat Creek enters from the right at about RM 6 (RK 10) and Farm Creek from the left shortly thereafter. The river receives Paste Creek from the right before Hot Springs Fork enters from the left at RM 4.0 (RK 6.4). Over the last third of its course, the Collawash River receives Slide, Sluice, and Cap creeks, all from the right, passes the Raab Campground, then receives Jack Davis Creek from the left. Two Rivers Picnic Area is on the right near the confluence with the Clackamas River, Script error: No such module "convert". from the larger river's confluence with the Willamette River.[1][2]
