Yo Sid --- Nope, that is not the Sand Island we are referring to. The F4 picnic/meeting place is on an island that is about a tee shot from the boat launch in St. Helens.....just downstream. On the Oregon side of the island is a nice moorage, public toilets and picnic area. You can moor your driftboat there (or pull it up on shore), or your 44-footer will fit nicely too. In a driftboat here you can fish the mouth of the Multnomah channel or the Warrior Rock area of the Columbia (a tee shot upstream). Or if there is no wind you can putt across the Columbia and fish the mouth of the Lewis. All very good springer water.
