Svensen and Svensen Island, Oregon, lie on the south side of the Columbia River at River Mile (RM) 24, between Settler Point downstream and Knappa upstream. Lewis and Clark passed by this area on November 26, 1805, on their way to build their winter camp on the Lewis and Clark River, and they again passed through the area on March 24, 1806, as they began their journey back home.
