About the clark fork river
The Clark Fork River runs 310 miles through Montana, originating in the Rocky Mountains and ending at Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho. The river is an important water source for agricultural irrigation and hydroelectric power. It also has a rich history, as it was a primary mode of transportation for early settlers and served as a major trade route for Native American tribes. Several large dams and reservoirs are located along the river, including the Thompson Falls Dam and the Noxon Rapids Dam, which provide hydroelectric power and flood control. Recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping are popular along the river, and it is home to a diverse range of fish species, including rainbow trout and bull trout. However, the river has also faced environmental challenges due to mining and industrial pollution in the past.
