Port of Arlington Marina

The Port of Arlington Marina is a public boat launch facility located in Arlington, Oregon, providing access to the Columbia River within the Lake Umatilla pool created by John Day Lock and Dam. This location offers a straightforward launch option for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to access this section of the Columbia River in Gilliam County.

The ramp accommodates vessels of various sizes and is suitable for both paddle craft and motorized boats. The facility appears to include basic amenities such as parking for vehicles and trailers. Given its position on the Columbia River near John Day Lock and Dam, paddlers should be aware of dam operations and potential current variations. This access point is ideal for exploring the relatively calm waters of Lake Umatilla upstream of the dam.

For current information about fees, hours of operation, or any seasonal closures, contact the Port of Arlington directly or check local recreation resources before planning your visit.
