Recreation
The river is popular among boaters and inner tube floaters as it is one of the few declared navigable rivers in Oregon. Because of this, public use is permitted from the line of high water mark and below. The most notable parks on the Sandy River (going upstream) are Glenn Otto Park, Lewis and Clark State Recreation Site (boat ramp), Dabney State Recreation Area (boat ramp + parking fees), Oxbow Regional Park (boat ramp + parking fees) and Dodge Park. During the summer heat the river is filled with people floating on rafts and tubes from Oxbow park to the downstream Lewis and Clark State Park. Upstream there are many opportunities for whitewater rafting and kayaking.

Famous quotes containing the word recreation:
“Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
—Archbishop Luigi Barito (b. 1922)
“Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
