Crims Island

USA / Oregon / Clatskanie /
Crims Island is a three-mile long island located near the Oregon side of the Columbia River at River Mile (RM) 54. Crims Island is approximately 4 miles upstream of Wallace Island. Stella, Washington lies across from Crims at RM 56. Upstream of Crims is Fisher Island off the Washington shore and Walker Island off the Oregon shore.

Bradbury Slough heads off from the Columbia River at Mayger, Oregon and separates Crims Island from the Oregon shore. The lower end of Crims, where Bradbury Slough merges back with the Columbia, lies the impressive cliffs of Oak Point, Washington.

Lewis and Clark first passed Crims Island on November 6, 1805, and then again on their return on March 26, 1806.
