Crooked River (Idaho)

The Crooked River winds as a roughly thirteen-mile tributary of the South Fork Clearwater River through the forested hills and gentle valleys of the Clearwater Mountains in northern Idaho. Amid dense conifer woods and with easy access points, it provides ideal terrain for trout fishing, quiet camping in shaded spots, and relaxed hiking, complemented by swimming in small ponds and winter snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.
