City of Lewiston as viewed
south from Lewiston Hill, US Highway 95. Lewiston is located at the
confluence of the Clearwater River (left to right foreground) and the Snake
River (far right) in north central Idaho.

Clarkston, Washington
Lewiston, Idaho’s strategic location
on the Snake River, 80 miles north of
Hells Canyon National
Recreation Area makes the city a prime destination during the summer.
This is the place to be for river rafting and kayak tours, since many of the
hotels in this area feature Hells Canyon tour packages, and numerous
river-rafting companies operate out of Lewiston. Tours can range from a
half-day to several days in length and can also be scheduled on other
Idaho and
Washington rivers as well.
Lewiston also serves as a hub for fishing guides and outfitters. Its
location at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers means that
outdoor enthusiasts have ample opportunities to find that perfect location
for steelhead, sturgeon, salmon and bass fishing. The Clearwater River is
known for its steelhead, especially since the river is home to the world’s
largest steelhead hatchery. Other rivers in the area, such as the Salmon
River south of Lewiston, are also known for their outstanding fishing
opportunities.
Lewiston’s scenic beauty attracts nature lovers throughout the year, but
particularly during the warmer months when the weather is at its prime. The
city is stitched together by a series of nature trails, parks and
interpretive markers. The trails offer a relaxing opportunity to learn about
Lewis and Clark’s historic visit to this valley area.
The Nez Perce
National Historical Park Visitor Center offers another view of the
Lewis-Clark Valley’s unusual history. Visitors can view Nez Perce artifacts
at its museum approximately 10 miles east of Lewiston. The Nez Perce’s
history is explained through displays and a film outlining the tribe’s
several-thousand-year historical link with the
Northwest.
