The structure at the end of the Confluence Trail is known as the “Bird Blind”, designed by artist Maya Lin. As part of a series of six sites along the Columbia River Basin, the “Bird Blind” employs the journey of Lewis and Clark as a marker of time. Notations of the explorers etched on the “Bird Blind” provide a means to contemplate the ecological, cultural, and historical shifts that have taken place over time.
