Orofino got its start in 1898 as a mining town. It later turned to logging. Orofino is Clearwater County's largest community and is the County Seat. An abundance of activities are available in the area. Dworshak Dam and the 53 mile reservoir provides opportunity for many water activities, camping and hunting. Some of the biggest steelhead and salmon are caught near here. Participants from all over compete in the Annual Lumberjack Days events.

Kooskia is nestled in the Clearwater River canyon at the confluence of the Southfork and the Middlefork of the Clearwater River. The town name is a contraction of the Kooskooskia, meaning "where the waters meet", that appears in the journals of Lewis and Clark in 1805 to designate the river now named the Clearwater River. Kooskia Days, held the last weekend in July, is an event for the whole family-from the kick off parade in the morning to a Street Dance in the evening. Three days of family fun!

Located in the heart of the Nez Perce National Forest; Elk City lies 50 miles east of Grangeville, Idaho in Idaho County. If you combine the other small communities within a 40 mile radius you might scourge up 400 full time residents. This area has many attractions but without any bright lights. Old mining communities that boomed starting in 1860's provide interesting history. Finding the remains of an old mining camp is a thrill and you'll be amazed that someone actually lived in some of these far out areas. Trout fishing in the rivers and high mountain lakes are to be enjoyed by the fisherman that likes to travel to the backcountry. Some great hunting for elk, cougar, bear and white tail deer is to be found in this area. |
