Free Family Boating

Get Directions

Memorial Day - Labor Day

Run by the Port of Toledo, these free events provide an opportunity for your whole family to try sailing, kayaking, and other paddlecraft in a safe and supervised environment.

We make our sailboats available to help ensure that people in our community – particularly young people – have the opportunity to experience getting out on the water.

Simply show up to the Waterfront Recreation and Education Center at the Port of Toledo Marina in Toledo, Oregon from 3pm - 6pm on Thursdays and 12pm - 4pm on Sundays from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
