A portion of the Yakima Delta as seen from the south.
The Yakima River Delta is an area of land in Richland, Washington where the Yakima River enters the Columbia River at River Mile 335.[1] It hosts several protected areas and is crossed by State Route 240. This area is mostly floodplain with riparian-type growth, including non-native species such as Russian olive.[2] Amon Creek enters the Yakima River in this area.
The area is used extensively for recreational purposes, such as kayaking and hiking. The Sacagawea Heritage Trail, a bike path traveling through all three cities in the Tri-Cities, crosses the delta alongside State Route 240.[3]
The delta is generally bounded by Columbia Park Trail to the south and Interstate 182 to the north. A small portion of extends to the north of I-182 between Queensgate Drive and the Bypass Highway toward the site of the Duportail Bridge.[1] The portion to the east of State Route 240 is dotted by numerous islands, and Bateman Island lies immediately to the east.
