Riley Green Marina sits on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near Hoghton, Lancashire, on Bolton Road (PR5 0SP).

It serves as a notable access point along the canal's 127-mile main line, positioned between Johnson's Hillock Top Lock to the west and Eanam Wharf to the east — a stretch that carries paddlers through open countryside and farmland, passing beneath the M65 and A675 motorways as the canal winds toward Blackburn and Pennine Lancashire.

The marina is also a base for hire-boat operations, with canal boat cruises offering multi-berth vessels for holidays on the water.

For canoeists, it marks the end of one of the Liverpool Canoe Club's designated trail sections and the start of the next, making it a practical staging point for longer journeys along this historic waterway.
