		Buildings have been affecting the creek as far back as 1887 with the building of the lower Clackamas fish hatchery facility, work began that year on a dam that would lead to the prevention of salmon spawning upstream, luckily through delays in building, fish were able to move upstream during that particular spawning season.
		The US fish commission took over the hatchery and installed a steam pump in the hatchery so that they may pump water from the Clackamas river instead of from clear creek because the water in clear creek was too warm during the months of August and September.
		Late September of 1890 a dam had been built across the Clackamas river by the Gladstone Mill Company, which prevented the salmon from ascending the river.

		This was not a first descent; the river does run sporadically during high water events that cause excess water to spill over the dam.
		Here the river churns down through a narrow channel that was spanned by two large logs, then it turns abruptly to the left and drops over a fifteen foot falls that plunges headlong into a fascinating (and scary-looking) narrow crack that is maybe ten feet wide.
		This is the lead-in to the main drop, where the river turns hard left and drops fifteen feet into the left wall, then turns and drops another 10 or so feet into the ugly hole against the right wall.
