Pink House Day Use Pavilions

Located 5 miles west of Orofino, Idaho, the Bureau of Land Management's Pink House Recreation Site includes a large, developed campground with an on-site Campground Host and two riverfront-accessible day use pavilions. The site is enjoyed by visitors from all over the country for camping, world class fishing, boating, tubing, swimming, picnicking, and wildlife viewing. Both pavilions have electricity, lighting, standing BBQ grills, accessible picnic tables, and face the main stem of the Clearwater River, making them an ideal location for a family get-together or a party. Pink House Recreation Site is home to one of the most heavily used boat launching sites upstream from Lewiston, Idaho. Guests have immediate access to the Clearwater River, home to world-renowned salmon and steelhead fisheries attracting anglers from around the world. Tubing is one of the most popular activities on the section upstream of Orofino due to the river's mellow rapids and accessibility, and with over 10 access sites along the Clearwater River to put in and take out, recreationists have the option to float as long as they desire. The site is nestled beside the Clearwater River at an elevation of 980 feet, surrounded by scenic views of semi-arid hills and the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. Native trees provide abundant shade throughout the site, and guests can reach a large sandy beach with just a short walk from the pavilions. The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail follows the Clearwater River from Greer, Idaho to the confluence with the Snake River. The Northwest Discovery Water Trail is the first 40-mile reach of the Clearwater River from Canoe Camp to the confluence with the Snake River in Lewiston. Orofino provides basic services and shopping opportunities 5 miles away; Nez Perce National Historical Park (Canoe Camp) is 1 mile away, Dworshak Hatchery 9 miles away, and Dworshak Dam and Visitor Center 12 miles away.
