West of the Bitterroot Mountains, nestled in the north-central part of Idaho stands the rugged Clearwater National Forest. Home to swift and clean rivers, massive wilderness, and some of the most important history of the American West, Clearwater also accommodates its visitors seeking outdoor activity and enjoyment.

Clearwater's 1.8 million acres are slashed by the canyons of the Clearwater River, displaying an endless and magnificent landscape of mountains to the east and prairies to the west. Clearwater stands out for its incredible fishing and fierce whitewater rapids.
