Beauty everywhere! Marine Park and the adjacent Thunder Island are the perfect setting for your next group picnic or special wedding day event. Ideal for groups of 20 to 1000 guests - offering outdoor fun with barbecues, Northwest salmon bakes, games and Sternwheeler cruises on the Columbia River. Owned by Port of Cascade Locks and operated by the Port and the Sternwheeler, the 23-acre park and private 3-acre island can be your solution to planning your company picnic, tour group destination, family reunion, association event or wedding. From 3-legged races to walks down the aisle we can help you create a successful event. At river's edge, in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.

Marine Park is the home of incredible sailing competitions sponsored by the Columbia Gorge Racing Association. The 2005 schedule features the return of the Columbia Gorge One Design regattas as well as a new event, the Santana 20 Nationals. The 49ers are also welcomed back for their NW Nationals along with the 29er North American Championships. www.gorgesailing.org.
