Medium-sized marina with multiple piers hosting numerous boats and a surface parking lot with several visible vehicles along the waterfront.
St. Helens Marina is the friendliest full-service marina on the Lower Columbia River near the north end of Sauvie Island. It offers safe, secure moorage for sailboats and power boats up to 80 feet along with transient moorage, fuel, and nearby restaurants.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
