Byway Overview
Named for William Clark, of Lewis and Clark Expedition fame, this drive winds across Glacier County and follows the Clark Fork River as it changes from wide and peaceful to a whitewater thrill ride in sections. To get to this byway, follow the St Regis-Paradise Scenic Byway through the Lolo National Forest and at Paradise continue on MT-200 W towards Thompson Falls. Watch for wildlife, especially elk wintering areas, and the many dams on the Clark Fork River- Thompson Falls Dam, Noxon Rapids Dam, and Cabinet Gorge Dam.
