Beacon Rock Moorage is a marina located in Skamania County, Washington, along the Columbia River, which forms part of the Pacific Coast's inland waterway system in the Pacific Northwest. Situated in the dramatic Columbia River Gorge, characterized by steep basalt cliffs, forested hills, and the river's powerful currents, it provides a gateway for boaters exploring this iconic region. It primarily serves recreational sailing and boating on the Columbia River, catering to those navigating its freshwater flows toward the ocean's influence.
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.
