Where is Challenge Island?

Dumb question, where was challenge island filmed? As I recall the discussion, I know it was in the Oregon area. Looks like a neat spot just cant find any info about it. Who owns it?

Re: Where is Challenge Island?

I never even heard of Challenge Island. What was it? A quick Google search references a children's enrichment program, and something in the game of Minecraft. I doubt you are asking about either of those search results.

It's Cottonwood Island on the Columbia River just south of Kelso.
