Driving Directions

Portland Sailing Center is located in Portland, Oregon, on the historic Columbia River. We are centrally located for all sailing students and renters in the Portland/Vancouver area, as well as the greater Western Oregon/Southwest Washington region. We're on the water at Harbor One Marina on N.E. Marine Drive, just north of Portland International Airport. Please visit www.mapquest.com and enter "3307 Marine Drive, Portland, OR" for maps and detailed driving directions.

Driving from Interstate 5 When arriving from Interstate 5, either northbound or southbound, take Exit 307, Marine Drive, and access Marine Drive eastbound. Harbor One can be found 1000 feet (2/10 mile) east of the intersection of 33rd Ave and Marine Drive. If you find yourself driving past Salty's on the Columbia restaurant you've missed Harbor One.

Driving from Interstate 205
Marine Drive cannot be accessed directly from Interstate 205. Take the eastbound exit of Airport Way and drive to122nd Ave., then left (north) to Marine Drive, and turn left again. You are headed west, now. Proceed past the airport to the Harbor One parking lot. If you reach the intersection with 33rd Ave, you've gone a thousand feet too far.

Driving from Northeast Portland (three approaches)
1. Take 33rd Ave. north from I-84 all the way to Marine Dr., then turn right. There is a confusing bridge along the way as 33rd leaves the residential area and crosses Lombard and Columbia Blvd. Proceed over the bridge. At midspan move to the right lane. This will carry you via a single lane ramp up to the right and then down, now facing west. At the bottom of this ramp take the right fork. This is 33rd Drive which will carry you the remaining mile or so to the stop sign at Marine Drive. Turn right, check Parking/Marina instructions below.

2. Via Columbia Blvd. from the east, driving westbound. Immediately past Broadmoor golf course clubhouse take the gentle right turn, an exit ramp, really, rather than going under the looming overpass. This ramp is not well signed. It will lead you to 33rd Ave. Proceed north to the stop sign at Marine Dr. Turn right and check the instructions below for Parking/Marina.

3. Via Columbia Blvd. from the west, driving eastbound. As 33rd Ave. approaches well ahead you will see a concrete overpass. Well before this you must turn right. This poorly signed right turn will immediately swing around to the left and under Columbia Blvd. Proceed north to the stop sign at Marine Dr. Turn right and check the instructions below for Parking/Marina.

Parking/Marina
You will find the Harbor One parking lots by looking for the Harbor One sign on the north side of the road, 1000 feet (2/10 mile) east of 33rd Ave. You can park in the lot that the sign faces — this is the "upper" parking lot — or proceed 200 feet east to the end of the fence. Enter the main parking lot here.

Now look for the gate and ramp that lead you down to the river. Proceed ahead to the very end of the dock. Portland Sailing Center is the barn red building on the left.

Call (503) 281-6529 if needed.

Directions to Cascade Locks dock:
I-84 east to exit 44. Exit and proceed straight through town until you see Cascade Locks Marine Park, well signed, on your left. Enter and proceed under the railroad tracks and turn right. Proceed to the boat basin at the end of the drive.
