Clover Island, River island in Kennewick, Washington, US
Clover Island is a river island in the Columbia River at Kennewick, positioned between two bridges that span the water. It contains a marina, a hotel, multiple dining venues, and recreational facilities connected to the mainland by a causeway.
Explorers Lewis and Clark recorded their visit to the island in 1805 during their expedition to the Pacific Ocean. This stop marked one of their significant encounters with the Columbia River region.
The island functions as a gathering place where locals come to dine, socialize, and enjoy the riverside setting. It has become a hub for community activities and events throughout the year.
The island is easily accessible from downtown Kennewick by a direct road connection without a fee. Parking is available, and all facilities are within a comfortable walking distance once you arrive.
A distinctive lighthouse structure was built on the island in the 1990s as a modern addition to the landscape. Few lighthouses have been constructed in the United States in recent decades, making this one particularly notable.
