When coming in from Montana, Clark Fork Idaho is the port of entry to the Selkirk Loop via the gorgeous Pend Oreille Scenic Byway along Highway 200.
Established when the Northern Pacific pushed its main line through Northern Idaho in the 1880s. Located at the northeast end of Lake Pend Oreille on the Clark Fork River, this small but active community hosts a full range of outdoor activities, along with gift shops, restaurants, and lodging. In the background are the Cabinet range of the Rocky Mountains. The Cabinet Gorge dam is just upstream and supplies power to the area. Also upstream is the Cabinet Gorge fish hatchery, designed to handle 20 million Kokanee salmon annually. Clark Fork was named in honor of William Clark who along with Meriweather Lewis headed the expedition to the west in 1804.
Great fishing, wildlife and bird watching, Mountain Biking, Miles of National Forest Service Trails. As most of you know this is where I decided to make my home. I bought some of the most beautiful acreage I have ever seen near the Clark Fork River with the help of Realtor Nancy Ferguson of Sandpoint Real Estate
