|
| |
This section of Clearwater River in Clearwater/ Nez Perce County is 41.3 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-III section. The nature scenery of Idaho and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water attract people from near and far. The Dworshack Reservoir to Washington border section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There |
aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some
| time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. If you're coming from Lewiston it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here.
