Lewiston is located where the Snake and Clearwater rivers meet. Across the Snake River is Clarkston, Washington and both cities are named after the explorers Lewis & Clark, who went through this area during one of the most significant exploration events in U.S. history. Lewiston is located only a few hundred feet above sea level so the climate is mild. The Lewis-Clark Valley enjoys more warm and sunny days than any other place in the Pacific Northwest. 

Recreational opportunities are in abundance. There is premier waterskiing, jet boating, sailing, whitewater rafting, hunting, fishing, swimming, hiking and camping, all within an hour of the Valley. There are miles of paved levee pathways following the rivers in both cities for walking, jogging and biking. Snow skiing and snowmobiling are only a short drive away. Four 18-hole golf courses are located within 10 minutes of each other.

Some of the most popular recreation events include half-day or day jet boat excursions, fishing for steelhead or salmon, the NAIA World Series starting Memorial Day weekend, and the Dogwood Festival in April.
