Powell Ranger Station

Mile 162 U.S. Highway 1

This area was a traditional ?shing spot visited by many Nez Perce on their seasonal rounds. Fishermen used tree limbs as gaff poles and spears, fashioned milkweed into nets, and black hawthorne into hooks, and constructed rock weirs in the river. The Nez Perce and the Salish-Kootenai took advantage of the abundant ?sh during spawning season. Members of the Nez Perce and Salish-Kootenai Tribes ensured their survival and prosperity by working together economically, socially, and spiritually with the land.
