Skipanon Channel is a tidal waterway extending south 2.7 miles from deep water in Columbia River. The channel enters the Columbia River about 10 miles above the Columbia River's entrance bar, and 4 miles below Astoria, Ore.

 

The Skipanon Channel serves the city of Warrenton, Ore., which owns a 300-foot public wharf. A small-boat basin has facilities for numerous fishing and recreation craft.
