Tower Rock Recreation Site (Idaho)
Carmen Idaho 83462
William Clark camped below Tower Rock on August 21 and 25, 1805 during his exploration of the Salmon River. On his first night there, he named the present Salmon River “Louis’s River” and described Tower Rock:
“This Clift is of a redish brown Colour the rocks which fall from it is a dark brown flint tinged with that Colour. Some Gullies of white Sand Stone and Sand fine & a[s] white as Snow.”
Today, there are interpretive signs and picnic tables. The site offers prime river access for floaters and steelhead and trout fishers. Camping sites are available for $5 per night.
