Northwest Passage Scenic Byway
Canoe Camp, ID
In 1805, Lewis and Clark stopped at this spot alongside the Clearwater River in Orofino to build five dugout canoes for their journey down the Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia Rivers. Visitors can still pause at this National Park Service site to build memories. Fish for steelhead at the Steelhead National Fish Hatchery or go bird-watching for glimpses of osprey, herons, and bald eagles.
For visitors wanting to spend more time in the area, take advantage of an RV Park located just across the highway.
