As part of post-Wedding family activities, my Brother-In-Law took us out on a boat for a tour of the Columbia River. Both trips started at ended at the Chiawana Park Boat Dock. And it was a great day to be out on the water. I was on the first Adults Only trip that included a stop at Ice Harbor Brewery (on Clover Island) for Lunch and a chance to take a short swim in the middle of the stream. I jumped at the later opportunity as the water was cold, clear, and refreshing! In between was nice views of the Blue and Cable Bridges and the Moore Mansion where Gayle's Niece was married the day before. The second trip involved the Kids and that turned out to be a series of inner tube rides. When he returned, my excited son told me that it was his best time ever!

There's tons of open space for picnics, barbecues, or just hanging out by the water, and areas to play games like volleyball. Kids will love the play area and the nearby Richland Rotary Beach too. What I also liked is how close it is to restaurants and coffee spots--just a quick 5-10 minute walk if you want to grab food or drinks. Overall, it's a really nice park with something for everyone. I had an awesome time here and definitely want to come back!

It's no surprise that during our time here, Howard Amon Park served as a gathering space for all the locals. We visited Howard Amon Park a few times as it's located along the Columbia River Trail with many different amenities here for multiple activities. There are many playgrounds, a small wading area for kids, water fountains, bathrooms, dog poop bags, benches, BBQ grills, and the best part - swimming docks. On those sunny days, Howard Amon Park is a great place to hang out in and cool down with a swim in the Columbia River. Howard Amon Park is located in the downtown area of Richland, walking distance to many businesses and lodging options. It's easy to find, with parking available as well as street parking that's easy to find. For some outdoor space that's in Richland, this is where to recreate.

The Riverfront Trail goes along the Columbia River with amazing views of the scenery and is well-maintained. We walked part of the Riverfront Trail in the downtown Richland area and I can't say anything bad about it. The trail was well paved as people could walk, bike or rollerblade due to its flat and smooth surface. Many people use this trail and along it, were benches and trash bins. I recommend walking along the Riverfront Trail when you're in Richland as it gets you up close to the Columbia River and depending on where you are, you could even stop in and swim or dock off from it on an American West cruise ship. A space where you can walk and get fresh air is needed in all communities and this is an exceptional one in Richland.

With the recently paved sections added to the Bradley Landing section, the trail now spans four miles from Leslie Groves Park to Columbia Point. It's a flat and wide trail that meanders through a variety of extremely palatable scenery along the Columbia River. Mucho gusto! However, I do have a question. Milfoil is the bane of Green Lake and Lake Washington. But on the Columbia River, it's dead tumbleweeds. They collect in huge mounds around boat docks and in the river's nooks and crannies. Which agency, if any, is responsible for tumbleweed cleanup? Would it be the City of Richland, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the State of Washington?

You get a pretty good view of the bridge from here. They water the grass, so it is nice and green. From the looks of it, it seems like the grass area is a thin stretch of grass along the river, rather than an expansive, wide field of grass that you can run and play frisbee on. Like most recreational areas, it will take you quite a while to exit the parking area on a holiday, like the Fourth of July

So, I had to turn around and drive back, which was slightly nerve-wracking as the highway has some twists and turns that make it difficult to tell if there is oncoming traffic.

Well, not much else here. Maybe that sticker was placed over the sign for a reason.
