The Sacagawea Heritage Trail offers a delightful touring cycling experience, tracing the Columbia River through Washington's Tri-Cities. This easy 20.1-mile (32.3 km) loop, with a minimal 253 feet (77 metres) of elevation gain, provides nearly two hours of scenic pedaling on a paved multi-use path. You'll enjoy continuous river views, pass through green, tree-shaded areas, and get glimpses of the Yakima River Delta, making it a fantastic option for a relaxed outing.
Planning your ride is straightforward, as the trail connects the cities of Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland, with ample access points and parking in city parks. While most of the route is off public roads, be mindful that some sections on the Pasco side briefly share the road with vehicles. The trail is well-marked with mile markers, and you'll find restrooms conveniently located in parks along the way, ensuring a comfortable journey.
This trail holds historical significance, named in honor of Sacagawea, who guided the Lewis and Clark Expedition through this very river corridor. It's a family-friendly route that also offers connections to broader regional trail networks, and you can even access Bateman Island from Kennewick for bird-watching. The trail's flat terrain and paved surface make it an excellent choice for beginner bike routes or a leisurely day out.
