Bateman Island

Bateman Island Trail Map

The pathway to Bateman Island

The Tri-Cities may not be tropical, but we have islands! This one, called Bateman Island, is an awesome place to go for a walk or a run. All along the trail, you will have views of the beautiful Columbia River and you will hear the pit-pattering of wildlife all around you. If you're looking for a short loop that's not just the sidewalk around your house, give Bateman Island a try!

Location: The entrance to Bateman Island is located on Columbia Park Trail at Wye Park: Richland Wye, Richland, WA 99352. It's at the very end of Columbia Center Blvd, so whether you're coming up north past the Columbia Center Mall, coming west-bound on 240 from Pasco, or coming east-bound on 240 from Richland, all you need to do is hop on Columbia Center and head to the river! Wye Park is just a left and a quick right into the parking lot. You will see a statue of Sacagawea!

***Also, I do not recommend walking around on Bateman alone, take a buddy with you. And if you bring your kids along, keep a close eye on them--there's a lot of water. Go give Bateman a try today!
