The Carver Bridge Cliff area is located off Clackamas River Road in the small town of Carver, which is east of Portland. The best place to park is at the Carver Park Boat Launch, and there's a $3.00 parking fee on the weekends / holidays. There's a main trail that starts behind the Baker Cabin Church, which is off Hattan Road. The trailhead is located around the stone wall and past the gate, near a wooden footbridge. You'll then run into several boulders before you reach the main cliff area. For permission to climb here, you must first become a member of the Carver Climbing Club. You'll need to sign a waiver and pay $8.00 at the Portland Rock Gym.
