The Sacajawea Historical State Park and Interpretive Center features the Lewis and Clark Expedition through the eyes of Sacagawea. Interpretation includes the time the Corps of Discovery camped here on October 16 and 17, 1805. Explore the importance of the land and resources of the area for the people who have called the Snake-Columbia confluence home for thousands of years.
It was at this place where a memorable greeting was given to the Expedition by several Nations who were catching and drying salmon:
. . . about 200 men Singing and beeting on their drums Stick and keeping time to the musik . . . formed a half circle around us and Sung for Some time, we gave them all Smoke . . . .
—William Clark
The park has a swimming beach, boat launches, picnic areas, and walking trails. Prominent on the point between two rivers is an installment of “The Confluence Project” by celebrated artist, Maya Lin. The “Story Circles” celebrate the native cultures, languages, flora, fauna, geology, and natural history of the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers.
The park is also located at the southern terminus of the paved Sacagawea Heritage Trail which follows the Columbia River 23 miles passing through all three cities: Pasco, Richland, and Kennewick.
The park is typically open for day use only.
