About Recreation in Richland Washington

Although the smallest of the three communities that make up the Tri Cities area in Washington, Richland is certainly not short on recreation, activities, attractions, or entertainment. In fact, no matter what brings you to Richland—business, pleasure, vacation, family, real estate—you'll find plenty to see and do during your stay there, from its active wine industry, outdoor activities, and natural attractions, to golf and professional sports...[more Richland Wa Recreation]

Things To Do, Richland Washington

Golf
Richland's exceptional climate makes golf one of the most popular sports. Three golf courses designed for varying levels of skill are available in Richland and seven beautiful courses are found in the area.

Outdoor activities
Richland has developed a number of parks, several of them fronting on the Columbia and Yakima Rivers. The rivers provide boating, water skiing, fishing, kayaking and waterfowl hunting opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. Snow skiing and hiking are no more than 1-2 hours away.

Richland lies within a semi-arid, shrub-steppe environment, and has a number of interesting natural areas within or contiguous to the city. The Yakima River delta and wetlands lie within Richland and provide habitat for many birds and animals. The area around the Yakima delta provides a wooded variation of the normal shrub-steppe.

The Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve, located on the edge of Richland in the Richland GMA area, provides a spectacular view of the Tri-Cities as well as the Columbia and Yakima rivers. A non-profit group, Friends of Badger Mountain, worked to procure this shrub-steppe area that has most native vegetation intact and then in 2005 built a trail to the summit so others can enjoy it. The 2-kilometer trail rises 300 meters above the trailhead in Richland.

Richland Marina Park seen from the Yachting Club.The Arid Lands Ecology Reserve, at the western edge of Richland on the Hanford Reservation, is the last remaining large block of undisturbed shrub-steppe habitat in the Pacific Northwest. The site has been closed to public since the 1940's, preserving its character. It is managed as an environmental research area and wildlife reserve. North of Richland, the Hanford Reach, the last free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River in the U.S., provides both excellent sightseeing and superior salmon fishing. This free-flowing stretch flows through the Hanford Reach National Monument, which was created by Presidential proclamation in 2000, is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Volunteers are working to construct an interpretive center on Richland's Columbia Point at the confluence of the Yakima a Columbia; as of January 2006, $22M of the necessary funds are in hand and construction is expected later in the year. See Wikipedia, Richland Washington.
