DescriptionThe Clearwater River flows out of Salmon Lake and into the Blackfoot River. The river was named by a local prospector for the clarity of its water, especially in comparison to the Blackfoot at its peak flow. During the early lumbering era, logging companies floated logs down the river during spring runoff.Contributing InstitutionMontana Historical Society Library and ArchivesGeolocation[1] CountyMissoula County
