About This Access Site
North Lewiston Park provides boat ramp access to the Clearwater River in Lewiston, a medium-sized river with steady flows averaging around 380 cubic feet per second. The river maintains a moderate gradient of approximately 3.4 feet per mile, making it suitable for various paddling and boating activities. With an average velocity of 1.83 feet/second, the Clearwater offers generally manageable conditions for kayakers and canoeists, though water levels and flow rates can vary seasonally.

This access point is conveniently located near downtown Lewiston and serves as a launching point for exploring the Clearwater River system. The area is part of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail region, offering paddlers the chance to experience historically significant landscapes. Be aware that nearby boat ramps (such as Zan's and Five Mile) occasionally close for maintenance and repairs, so it's worth checking conditions before your trip. The area also provides access to nearby recreation opportunities and reservoir paddling options in the Lewiston Orchards area.
