East Portland / Gresham Moorages
The East Portland / Gresham floating home communities consist of approximately six floating home moorages with a relatively even mix of slip-owned and rental moorage structures. Located along the south shore of the Columbia River and accessed via Marine Drive, this area offers direct access to the scenic Columbia River Gorge and broad open river spaces well suited for boating and waterfront recreation.

Many of the moorages in this area benefit from views of the Columbia River and McGuire Island, with surrounding natural features that include mature trees, wildlife habitat, and sandy shoreline areas. The broad river orientation to the east often provides striking sunrise views across the water and surrounding natural landscape. Compared to the more centrally located Portland floating home communities, the East Portland / Gresham area generally offers a more rural and open atmosphere while still maintaining convenient access to urban amenities.
The location also provides direct and convenient access to Portland International Airport, along with a short drive into Gresham or East Portland for shopping, restaurants, medical services, and other everyday conveniences. Frequent fliers, wind sport and hiking / biking enthusiasts seeking direct access to the Columbia River Gorge, and those looking for a more rural vibe will likely find this to be their happy place on the river. All moorages within this area feature gated parking, along with generous spacing between moorage rows and a broad range of floating home styles, sizes, and value points, contributing to a diverse and varied waterfront community environment.
