In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide at Lemhi Pass, and headed west along the Salmon, Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon on November 5 1805.

The river that led Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean was the Columbia River. It had taken them over a year and a half to make it to the Pacific Ocean from St. Louis, Missouri.

There was no river that took them to the Pacific. I think the Snake was used by them.

Lewis and Clark saw the Pacific Ocean from this state?

Lewis and Clark, sadly, never actually saw the Pacific Ocean. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon on November 7 1805. The day was rainy and foggy, and the Columbia River estuary was four or five miles wide and they could not see the Oregon side of the river or Point Adams at the mouth of the river in the distance. But they were close enough to have reached their goal.
