Welcome to the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests—4.0 million acres of beautiful and diverse land, located in North Central Idaho. From the dry, rugged canyons of the Salmon River to the moist cedar forests of the Selway drainage to the rolling uplands of the Palouse, the forest offers something for everyone. This vast, diverse area is managed to provide a variety of goods and services including breathtaking scenery, wilderness, wildlife, fisheries, timber harvest, livestock grazing, mining, pristine water quality and a wide array of recreation opportunities. Nearly half of the Forests are designated wilderness. They also sport three rivers popular with thrill-seeking floaters—the Selway, the Lochsa and the Salmon. General Information

It's here!

The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree is pulling into Lapwai! Join us today at noon for the whistlestop tour!

The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests would like to thank the community of Grangeville for your patience and understanding of the cancellation and rescheduling of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree event on October 29th.

Forest Service Law Enforcement reviewed and cleared a security concern on the People’s Tree truck and trailer. The concern was related to an overheard verbal threat about disrupting the tour’s operations. We believe this to be an isolated incident and look forward to returning to Grangeville Monday, Nov. 2.

See you at Lapwai today at noon! 🎄

Surprise! We have an additional opportunity to get to see the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree!!!
