Love seeing the different plant life and today I saw a family of turkeys! Such a lovely area of historic significance. Well worth purchasing discover pass to enter, having access to two rivers, leisurely nature trail and well maintained grounds.

Beautiful clean park. $10 per visit or $30 per year. Green, well-maintained. Safe area for children to play in the river. No lifeguard.

This park is one of the most beautiful parks in the fall you can visit. Beautiful colors to see. Too bad its a part that you have to pay or have a pass to visit. Icycle to this park often which I love because its often quiet. Its well-maintained

As an Alaskan Native Elder in our Clan TONGASS Tribe. I was impressed by the park and the many Circle Monuments. As a visitor you must take the time to explore the entire park. The confluence of the Snake River and the Columbia River is significant land to Many Indian Tribes/Nations for its once Abundant Wildlife and natural resources. The interpretive center was closed on Monday.

State park is good for summer months maybe.Free to come here and fun little parts of history. The museum is the cost part, the park is open year round and has horse shoe pits, picnick tables, docs ($5 boat launch fee), volleyball pit (not maintained during winter spring), and swings. Mule deer wondering through as well.Out on the edge of industrial central.Dog friendly, on a leash and just a note...not everyone picks up after their dog so be careful.

I grew up on the Snake River. It was rewarding to see where it ended up. The park has excellent views and is very well maintained. If I lived in the area, I would visit this Park often.

Review №24

Great history and view. Its a very small park though, and I didnt see any good places to hike or any trails to follow. Theres a lot of grass and sidewalk. I enjoyed it a lot, but I wouldnt go out of my way to go again.

Review №26

A gem of a state park that is very under utilized which makes it perfect for those who dont like big crowds. Very well maintained and definitely a great place to get off those cell phones and relax in nature.Ive seen a lot of animals including turkeys, all kinds of beautiful birds, osprey, coyotes, eagles, hawks to name a few.A very historical park you will be amazed by the canoes carved from large heavy trees and you can hike, bike, fish, bring kayaks or your boat as theres a boat launch.This is where the Snake River meets the Columbia so expect some great fishing.I love this park

Review №27

As far as Washington state parks go this park is right in he middle of services. A nice area to explore and spend some time in but lacks greater features that really push it into a great park. However, I did have a great experience spending some time in the park and even camped for a special event. Maybe if I had a boat it would have been better?

Small state park placed at the junction of the Snake and the Columbia Rivers that offers a boat ramp, picnic tables and a small museum. Discover Pass or $10 daily pass required.

Review №34

One of my favorite parks in the area! Requiring a Discovery Pass is annoying but I dont mind supporting conservation, and it definitely cuts down on crowds. The grounds are maintained well with good access to both the Columbia and Snake Rivers. The history is accurateish with an obvious white washed perspective. The staff has always been pleasant but not incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the displays.A nice spot for a family lunch amongst ancient trees, but a troubled topic from our past to address morally.

Beautiful, quiet but for all the birds. A nice place to take a walk. This is a historical site that honors its significance to both Native Americans, and for having been visited by Lewis and Clark.

Nice State Park on outskirts of Pasco. Day use only, no camping. Boat launch in lagoon. Interpretive center with historical and current information. Entrance fee or use Discovery Pass. At confluence of Snake and Columbia Rivers. Picnic tables. Boat docks for boat-in visitors. Very scenic with marshy areas and lots of birds - Ospreys, Egrets, Blue Herons, Blackbirds, Kingfishers, etc. Swim beach on Columbia River. Great kayak and canoe area with lots to explore. Good fishing in both rivers. Described in Lewis & Clark journals.

Review №48

It looks like a nice park, but... We pulled into the parking area and stopped to fill out the self registration for the entry fee and then had some lunch in our trailer before walking over to the discovery center only to find that they were not open on Tuesday. I think they should have had a sign at the entrance informing visitors that it wasnt open. I want my $10 back.

Review №49

Fun place to come out to fish, but never got anything out of it. Nice place to come and relax. There is no playgrounds but there is picnic tables everywhere and tons of shades. I have seen a lot of improvements of clean ups compare to last year. There are tons of snakes but they are little guys so please dont run them over as this is their home. Please pick up your trash!! I shouldnt have pay to come here but since people are too lazy to pick up after themselves is why WE gotta pay.

The interpretive center here gives you a great perspective on Lewis and Clarks expedition and their interaction with the native Americans.

Review №51

I was truly Interested in getting to see this park as I used to live an hour South of here and had never visited it before. I was a little disappointed in trying to see the confluence of the two rivers because there is a somewhat obstructed view. I would strongly suggest that some engineers come out and build a 6 story watchtower there at the point. It would sure make a person feel like they have a better view that way. You cannot even get a good picture from down on the ground. Just my thoughts...it is a pleasure to walk the grounds of where Lewis & Clark traveled. There is much information to take in about their experiences.

We used to visit this park almost 30 years ago! I was back today for a geocaching event and it was just as nice as my memory! Lots of parking. Wonderful large trees provide abundant shade making a warming day like today totally comfortable! The park was clean and has restrooms available though I did not use them today. Love this park!

The sun was out. The grass was green. Sacajawea Museum was very entertaining and informative. You can feel the rich history in this one park. Lewis and Clark set foot on the same ground you walk on. Native Americans used to live there and there are still huge wooden canoes you can see. A lot of information stands to read. Its right be the river with over 3 docks to watch the big boats and fish jumping. The most beautiful and quietest park Ive ever been too. Loved every minute of it.

I came here for a picnic. This could be a nice park if it was kept up. I found a syringe abandoned,clothing and the tagging in the park by local wanna be gang members is a joke and is ruining this area. But we need to be tolerant. What a joke!

Theres a dedicated bunch of volunteers who are the hosts and hostesses of the park. Theyre formed the club to help take care and promote the park. As I talk to them I found that there is an incredible need for others especially younger to help the different events that happened throughout the summer. I watched a very small second grade class come through the interpretation Center. It seem to be fairly stressful for the two ladies running the shop. They were kind and handled it well, yet they were worn-out when the class was done.

A wonderful interpretive center coupled with a clean and green park make this a must-see in Pasco, WA. Its on the very spot where Lewis and Clark camped at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers. A stunning view of the confluence itself, plus a couple of dugout canoes take you back in time. The volunteers at the interpretive center know their stuff and the exhibits are absolutely terrific.

Serious need for serious efforts to develop local cultural history interest. Get real, why would anyone pay $10 to park here. I do love the stop on my cycle rides though. Do you get the message?

Our Boy Scout troop bicycled here and camped over night. The interpretive center is well worth a few dollar donation. The park allows scout troops to camp for a nominal price if you do a service project. Were already looking forward to our next opportunity.

This modest sized museum packs a lot of interpretative information into its available.exhibit space. The location is a bit off the major interstate but well worth the effort to find. The.grounds are.pleasant with ample.parking and the.location at the fernix of Snake River with the Columbia River is very special in the Lewis & Clark saga

Love the park . Love the museum, but they need someone to clean up the weeds around the place. The park is awesome and the fishing isnt bad there . Again having the museum there is a huge plus !!! My kids love it and for being small its got some interesting things inside . Must see .

Really good park. Well maintained. Great weather the 2 days I was there. The river borders 2 sides of the park. It was heritage days, lots of people had displays. Lots of history knowledge by the people in the camps dressed up in the clothes for the time in history. They have a Facebook page with pictures. There were wood Carvers, and knapping demos you could learn to knap (making arrowheads).
