Coon Island, 122.81481W & 45.77262N.

    Coming Down River:  Turn into the Willamette River at Kelly Point and go upstream about 2 miles to Multnomah Channel.  Coon Island is about 16 miles from the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia - about three turns of the channel once past Multnomah Channel Yacht Club.  Given many slow-no wake zones, it’s the slower route.  If you’re in a hurry, take the main channel of the Columbia almost to St. Helens and approach Coon Island from upstream.  Although faster than the Multnomah Channel route, it’s about five miles longer.

    Coming Up River:  Turn into Multnomah Channel just past St. Helens.  Coon Island is roughly five miles up the Channel.  Watch for wing dams and pilings at the turn.

      Ladies’ Cruise Fleet Captain Julie is responsible for getting you and your crew registered and helping you find your way to Coon Island.  We will be monitoring channel 16 and then moving to working channel 72.  Upon arrival, radio "Dock Mistress" Lynda on channel 72 for tie-up instructions. She will round up the troops and ensure your lines are caught and you dock safely. 

    Prior to the cruise, email or call the Fleet Captain at 360-210-5587.
