Clearwater Region | Idaho Fish and Game

The Clearwater region is home to the largest wilderness and primitive areas in the lower 48 states. These areas are accessible only by foot, boat, or horseback and challenge even the most experienced hunters and anglers. Chinook salmon, coho salmon, steelhead, and sturgeon are native to the Clearwater, Snake, and Salmon rivers.
