Factoid: Dworshak Reservoir, found in central Idaho along the North Fork of the Clearwater
River, is located in scenic forested and mountainous country. Popular activities
include swimming, boating, fishing, hunting, water-skiing, camping, hiking and lots
more. At a height of 717 feet, the dam is the highest straight-axis gravity dam in
North America, as well as one of the most dramatic in appearance. The Dworshak
National Fish Hatchery is the largest steelhead trout hatchery in the world. Lewis
and Clark camped in the area, where they rested from their trip over the Bitterroot
Range and built canoes for their trip on to the Pacific Ocean.
