Clearwater River

The Clearwater is a river in west central Idaho which joins the Snake River at Lewiston. It has three main branches. The North Clearwater rises near the boundary between the Clearwater National Forest and St Joe National Forest. It is dammed to create Dworshak Reservoir, a major center for recreation.

The main stem of the river branches into the Middle Fork and South Fork at Kooskia. The Middle Fork becomes a designated Wild and Scenic River, which splits into two sections, the Lochsa Wild and Scenic River and the Selway River. The South Fork doesn't amount to much.
