Although Captain Clark's excursion didn't get this far, there's a great view of the Yakama River estuary, above. These views are looking south from Columbia Point Marina Park, just north of the I-182 and US HWY 12 crossing of the Columbia River. The best views are from a dirt trail which passes, south, under the highway bridge. The Yakama River enters the Columbia from the right. Right, looking north towards Columbia Point Marina Park from Columbia Park. Bateman Island is in the foreground (see maps on the next page). Clark stayed at an Indian village south of Bateman Island, on the east side of the Columbia. You can access Columbia Point Marina Park from I-182, just west of the Columbia River bridge.
