About

Imported description
Lower Granite Lake, located in extreme southeastern Washington and central Idaho along the lower Snake and Clearwater Rivers, provides for a wide spectrum of outdoor recreation fun. In the adjoining towns of Clarkston, Washington and Lewiston, Idaho there are 22 miles of levees designated as the Clearwater & Snake River National Recreation Trail for walking, bicycling or running. The Lewis and Clark expedition passed through this area. East of Lewiston about 10 miles on Highway 12 is the Nez Perce National Historical Park.

On the lower Snake River in southeastern Washington, it bridges Whitman and Garfield counties. Opened 51 years ago in 1975, the dam is located 22 miles (35 km) south of Colfax and 35 miles (56 km) north of Pomeroy.
