Happy Rock Moorage Inc.

Happy Rock Moorage Inc. offers a convenient public boat launch on the Multnomah Channel, just 15 minutes from downtown Portland. The facility features a dedicated boat ramp, free parking for vehicles and trailers with paid launch access, and public restrooms. This makes it an accessible starting point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the lower Columbia River system without traveling far from the city.

The Multnomah Channel is a quieter alternative to the main Columbia River channel, offering calmer conditions suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. Whether you're planning a day paddle or extended trip, the proximity to Portland and nearby attractions like Fort Vancouver National Historic Site and Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge provides options for combined river and cultural experiences. If you're planning to moor at the facility, note that moorage reservations include unlimited ramp use.
