**Facilities & Access**
City Marina offers two dedicated boat ramps with a center launch float, making it a reliable access point to Lake River. The site features a day-use dock, paved parking lot, restrooms (including ADA-accessible facilities), and a grassy picnic area. Non-motorized paddlers often launch from the grassy area adjacent to the ramps. Kayak rentals are available nearby at Ridgefield Kayak Rentals, just a short walk away. Ridgefield residents can apply for an affordable annual permit ($75 for zip code 98642).
**Best For**
This is a well-developed facility suitable for both motorized and non-motorized boaters. If you prefer to avoid motorized traffic, the nearby Division Street/Ridgefield Shore Launch offers an alternative kayak-specific access point just downstream. Lake River in this area provides a scenic paddling destination with views toward the Columbia River and nearby recreational areas including Fort Vancouver National Historic Site and Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.
