## Resource

Kayakers, paddleboarders, and inflatable boat enthusiasts are staging a “Float for Freedom” protest on the Clackamas River, challenging Oregon’s new permit rules that now require even non-motorized watercraft to have permits — a move they say infringes on their constitutional right to access public waterways. The state defends the policy, arguing the fees fund invasive species control and improved public access. Since January, the debate has intensified, pitting personal freedom against conservation and management priorities — a classic clash over who should control Oregon’s rivers.
