Big Eddy Marina

Big Eddy Marina is a full-service facility on the Columbia River east of downtown Portland, offering boat slips and moorage options for both short-term and seasonal use. The marina features a guest dock for overnight vessels (fees required—pay at the drop box), a visitor dock for short-term moorage of vessels under 60 feet on a first-come basis, and slip rentals for year-round or seasonal boaters. This is a convenient alternative to public launch ramps if you're looking to avoid launch line waits and secure parking for your vehicle.

The facility accommodates various vessel types and sizes, with specialized docks for commercial use, large vessels (60+ feet), and cruise ships. For kayakers and canoeists, Big Eddy provides easy water access to the Columbia River, a major waterway that offers diverse paddling opportunities. The location puts you near notable recreation areas including Fort Vancouver National Historic Site and Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge, both accessible by water or nearby roads.

For reservations, slip rentals, or specific moorage questions, contact Big Eddy Marina at 541-436-0797. Plan ahead if you need a reserved slip, especially for larger vessels or commercial use.
