Welcome to Hayden Island, Portland’s only island community. The Hayden Island Neighborhood Network (Hi-NooN), is the officially sanctioned Portland Neighborhood Association.

Though Hayden Island is a neighborhood in Portland, it also is a natural divider between Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington, Hayden Island sits between the main channel of the Columbia River and the boat and water sport intensive North Portland Harbor.  Hayden Island is the backdrop for the annual Christmas Ships, Fourth of July fireworks display and non-stop maritime and river-based living.  A place to get away from it all by just being home.

Hayden Island: A Great place to live!

Hayden Island, with a population around 3,000 full time residents, features six boat marinas, multiple condos and apartments, a large manufactured home community, and four floating home moorages. From Alder Creek’s Kayak & Canoe rentals on Hayden Island, it takes 3-4 hours to paddle around the island.

Hayden Island is a wonderful mixture of tax free shopping, light industry, office and retail, restaurants, hotels, condos and apartments, the largest complex of yacht moorages on the Columbia River. Past the railroad bridge, one mile west of I-5, the island features 800 acres of undeveloped natural preserve, owned by the Port of Portland.

Hayden Island has had different names through history:  e.g. Menzies Island and Painted Image Island.  And for a time, both Hayden Island and Tomahawk Island were separate islands, until that morphed into just Hayden Island when dredge material was deposited between two land masses. 

Bridgeton, our closest neighbor, is on the south levee. It’s the city’s smallest neighborhood with about 1,000 residents living in houses, apartments, condos and houseboats, but good things come in small packages.

We’re both close to the Portland Expo Center, where the Max train terminates, and the Portland International Raceway (PIR) and the Delta Park shopping Center.

Kenton, home of Paul Bunyon is 2 miles south. Delta Park, formerly known as the city of Vanport, was the state’s 2nd largest city, but wiped off the face of the earth by a flood in 1948. The Owens Sports Complex includes seven softball fields, nine soccer fields, and a concessions building.

There are 45 miles of levees in Multnomah County located along the Columbia River. Marine Drive, which connects with PDX, is built on a levee which are earthen berms that reduce the risk of flooding during high-water events. They also make good bike paths.

We hope you enjoy your time here. There’s lots to see and do.
