Lewiston/Clarkston Levees

The most significant landmarks in the Lewis-Clark Valley are the Snake and Clearwater Rivers. The best way to enjoy the rivers are along the Lewiston/Clarkston Levee trail system.

The levees were built during the construction of Lower Granite Dam. Today they provide Lewiston and Clarkston residents with direct access to a 21-mile river playground. The levees front the rivers along their lengths.
