Sacagawea Heritage Trail

The Sacagawea Heritage Trail Project aims to create a leisure and education trail that spans the twenty-two miles of the Columbia River, including that of the Richland Wa Real Estate area. The Project trail is a dedication to the solitary woman who aided the Lewis and Clark expedition. The trail will be bi-modal, in that pedestrians and cyclists can share its use. The amenities will be user friendly for able and disabled visitors and is expected to be completely environmentally friendly. It is anticipated that the trail will encourage visitors to learn more about, and to appreciate, the past experiences of the Corps of Discovery in the Mid-Columbia region.

It is hoped that the Heritage Trail will link pedestrians and cyclists with the rest of the Tri-City area. The network of loops will be non-motorized and will take in the river fronts and natural wonderland of the Tri-Cities area of which Richland Real Estate region is a part. The Class I multi-purpose trails and sidewalks, with Class II and III cycle routes (lanes and signage respectively) are monitored for continuous improvement.

The trail winds through parklands, along levees and streets. Richland City Council, as other Tri-City Councils are doing, maintains work on individual portions of the trail as well as maintaining waterfront development.
