Geocache Description:

Sacajawea State Park is a 284-acre marine, day-use park at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia rivers. It features 9,100 feet of freshwater shoreline and an extensive trail system. The area is spread out with a big sky and excellent views of the two rivers as they flow together.

Sacajawea State ParkA river beach and children's playground equipment are additional park features.

Interpretive Center The Corps of Volunteers for Northwest Discovery (Lewis & Clark Expedition) passed through the Tri-Cities area, first on October 16-18, 1805 and again on their return trip, April 26-27, 1806.
The state run visitor center features the story of Sacajawea, the journeys of Lewis & Clark, and native American history. Local artifacts on display include arrowheads, fishing weights, baskets, etc....
The center is volunteer staffed, for hours of operation, contact park manager (509) 545-2361.

The kids helped me stock this cache with toys they have outgrown. It should be a good one to bring your young ones to visit. Try to trade for things kids would like to find.

If you park by the boat docks (N46° 12.120' W119° 2.297') and walk the trail it is very easy to get to the right spot. You will not walk a strait line - so follow the trail even though you will be making a zig zag path to get to it. When you find 3 large concrete blocks you are within 10 feet of the cache, which is a camoflaged ice-cream container.
No need to go trail blazing. No need to climb rickety stairs. No need to go on railroad or private property or violate "No Trespassing" signs.
It is a 3/4 mile hike in to the cache because of the zig-zaging - so be prepared.

$5 Parking Fee or an annual pass now required at all State Parks.
