Lenore

The Lenore boat ramp provides access to the Clearwater River, a medium-sized river (Stream Order 5) flowing through scenic forested and mountainous terrain in central Idaho. With an average flow of 379 cubic feet per second and a moderate gradient of 3.4 ft/mile, the Clearwater offers suitable conditions for kayaking and canoeing, though paddlers should be prepared for the river's consistent current of approximately 1.8 feet per second. The ramp is located on the Nez Perce Reservation near the town of Lenore in Nez Perce County, putting you within reach of the broader Clearwater Region's recreational opportunities.

Amenities at the Lenore site include both a paved parking lot at the rest area and a gravel parking lot at the city launch. The area offers convenient access for launching, though there are no developed paths to the boat launch itself. The site is well-positioned for exploration of the 148-mile Clearwater River system, with nearby attractions including Dworshak Reservoir on the North Fork and the Lewis and Clark Backcountry Byway for additional regional recreation opportunities.
