Lewiston, Idaho is the home of the Hell's Gate State Park where we made camp while visiting Dworshak and Winchester State Parks. Hell's Gate State Park is located on the Snake River just past where the Clearwater and Snake Rivers meet and a 3 hour boat ride from Hell's Gate Canyon. These three State Parks are near where Lewis and Clark met with the Indians for one month. It is now the Nez Perce Historic National Park area. On one side of the Snake River is Lewiston and on the Washington side is Clarkston.

While on our drive to Dworshak State Park, we saw over 30 deer.

Our trip to the Dworshak State Park was beautiful, but the State Park is a different story. We decided that we aren't interested in that State Park. We were told to take a little trip over to the Dworshak Dam. It was a very unexpected thrill.

Winchester Lake State Park was nice but 36 miles from Lewiston, the closest town.
