Scappoose Bay Marina Park in Warren offers convenient access to Scappoose Bay with dedicated facilities for both motorized and paddle craft. Kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders should use the low-profile paddler launch dock, accessed via the marina gangway, which provides easier entry than the main boat ramp. Water depths range from 6-7 feet near the ramp to 3-4 feet within the channel, depending on tidal conditions, so plan your paddling accordingly.
The park is a Certified Clean Marina with several amenities for visitors, including free parking for up to 2 hours (longer stays incur modest fees). The facility features a nature walking trail with interpretive signage and a nearby paddling center store. The location provides good access to explore Scappoose Bay and nearby areas like Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, making it a solid basepoint for paddlers exploring the lower Columbia region. Short-term visitors can launch and return quickly, while those seeking moorage can rent from approximately 100 available boat slips (3-month minimum required).
