Getting There: Exit #307 on I-5 and head east for 2.5 miles on Marine Drive. Park on the gravel road just west of 33rd Drive off of Marine Drive.
See Marine Drive #1 for general information about Marine Drive paths. This path has a lot of scenic beauty but it's situated right next to Portland's airport (PDX) so be prepared for the occasional high decibel blasts of jet noise. From 33rd Drive, the path is on the city side of Marine Drive passing by the very end of the PDX runway until it crosses over Marine Drive at Broughton Park. It then descends below the road level and is next to the Columbia River where you get very nice views of river activity. Government Island then comes into view, you'll pass the Sea Scout Base and the path ends at I-205.
