About the lemhi river
The Lemhi River is a tributary of the Salmon River located in Idaho, USA. It stretches for 60 miles from its source in the Lemhi Range to its confluence with the Salmon River. The hydrology of the Lemhi River is characterized by seasonal fluctuations in flow and high levels of sediment. The river has been the site of several dams and reservoirs, including the North Fork Dam and Reservoir, which was constructed in the 1970s to provide irrigation water for nearby farms. Today, the river is used for agricultural purposes, including irrigation and livestock watering, as well as for recreational activities such as fishing and rafting. The Lemhi River has a rich history, having been explored by Lewis and Clark on their westward expedition in 1805.
