Restaurants & cafés
Bojack's Broiler Pit
A 1951 downtown steakhouse and bar that is a genuine Lewiston institution, dim and clubby with red vinyl booths. The thing to order is the bite-size steak, a regional specialty the valley is known for, and every meal comes with soup or salad, bread, and a side of spaghetti. Good for a classic old-school dinner.
Jollymore's
A Main Street fine-dining room mixing American classics with French technique and a deep wine list. It leans special-occasion, with steaks, a baked brie starter regulars order, and an attentive front of house. Best for a date night or a meal that runs long.
Trails & outdoors
Lewiston Levee Path
The long paved riverfront path along the Snake and Clearwater, flat and accessible, that doubles as the town's main walking and cycling route. Interpretive signs mark the Lewis and Clark story along the way. Good for an easy stroll, a run, or a casual bike ride at any fitness level.
Snake River Trail
A roughly 6-mile riverside route through Hells Gate State Park that follows the Snake toward the canyon mouth with steady water views and modest elevation. It is the park's signature hike, doable as an out-and-back of any length. Good for a moderate half-day on foot.
Things to do
Snake River Adventures
A long-running outfitter running jet boat tours and fishing charters from Hells Gate into Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America. Guides point out petroglyphs, bighorn sheep, eagles, and the canyon's mining and Nez Perce history. The marquee Lewiston experience, doable as a day trip or overnight.
Beamers Hells Canyon Tours
Operating since 1974, this outfitter runs jet boat day trips and overnights up the Snake into Hells Canyon with meals and lodge stops at remote sites. Captains grew up on the river and narrate its history and wildlife. A second strong option for the canyon's signature boat experience.
Landmarks & sights
Hells Gate State Park
The 960-acre park where the Snake River bends toward the mouth of Hells Canyon, with a marina that is the launch point for nearly every canyon jet boat tour. There is a swimming beach, an interpretive center on the Lewis and Clark route, and miles of riverbank to wander. Good for a half day before or after a boat trip.
Nez Perce County Historical Society & Museum
A 1930s Art Deco building downtown packed with Nez Perce and pioneer artifacts, plus a Sacajawea Legacy exhibit and an outdoor Trolley Car No. 8 you can peek into anytime. The campus also includes a replica of the 1863 Idaho Territorial Capitol. It is the place to understand the confluence before you head out on the water.
