Bateman Island, River island in Columbia River, Washington, US
The 160-acre island sits at the confluence of Columbia and Yakima Rivers, measuring one mile long and half a mile wide.
William Clark documented Native Americans drying salmon on this island during the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1805.
The area represents a significant location for local Native American tribes who traditionally used these waters for salmon fishing.
Visitors access the island via a causeway from Richland, where they can participate in hiking, bird watching, and fishing activities.
The presence of the causeway creates a warm water zone that affects the migration patterns of salmon and steelhead in the Columbia River.
