The latest addition to the Museum’s 13-acre campus is The Warnock Commons and Model Boat Pond. After almost five years of planning and construction, the sliver of commercial property at the east end of the Museum’s parking lot, known as North Coast Auto Service, was transformed into a pond designed for sailing model boats, part of the Museum’s vision for a park-like campus around the Barbey Maritime Center.
Along with the pond, the park includes a kiosk for rentals of a wide array of boats for different ages and skill levels, from single-piece wooden hulls to radio-controlled vessels.
The Warnock Commons and Model Boat Pond is the perfect place to enjoy being outdoors. The Pond is open to the public year-round for your sailing pleasure. We invite you to bring your favorite vessel and spend some time at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. If you do sail with us, we ask that you wear a mask and practice social distancing.
UPDATE - Due to COVID-19 restrictions, boat rentals have been suspended until further notice.
