Scappoose Bay Marina is an excellent facility, located on Scappoose Bay and about 20 miles from Portland. The ramps, parking and docks are well maintained. The Campground is located in the same park.

The picture above shows the high quality ramps with docks on both sides.

The picture above is taken from the “waiting” dock that extends to the northeast.

Access by vehicle is via US30. Old Portland Road joins to US30, off the bottom of this map. The campground, “Bayport RV Park,” is adjacent to the marina.

The chart shows the marina as “Ramp.” Green day markers, “1”, “3”, “5”, “7” and “9” mark the close-in access to the marina. The island, in the middle, across Multnomah Channel, is Sauvie. The Columbia River is farther East.

Description

Tell us about the access site, and anything about the launch ramp. Is it steep or shallow? Slime at the bottom, perhaps? A very important element is the depth of the ramp. Most of our water varies in depth and some ramps do not work for the lower levels.
