Nestled at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers in southeast Washington, Clarkston is the gateway to North America's deepest gorge, Hells Canyon.

Beautiful scenic vistas, a mild climate, year-round recreation, an inland seaport and rich history abound. Named for William Clark of the historic Lewis and Clark Expedition, Clarkston invites you to follow the footsteps of the famous explorers into an area rich in opportunities.

The river valley's warm climate enables residents and visitors to enjoy year-round outdoor activities such as golf, fishing and walking the trails along the beautiful Snake River. Sparkling area rivers and creeks beckon you outside where cruise ships, jet boat rides, boating, water skiing, rafting and world famous steelhead, chinook and trout fishing await. Nearby forest lands provide hunters with deer, elk and game birds.
