The Clark Canyon Dam, or also known as the Clark Canyon Reservoir, can be found just outside of the town of Dillon, along the Beaverhead River. Clark Canyon is also the site of one of the Lewis and Clark Trail’s more significant spots, Camp Fortunate. It was at this site that the expedition met the Limhi Shoshoni Tribe, as well as where Lewis and Clark kept canoes and supplies for their return trip. Camp Fortunate is also where Sacagawea was able to be reunited with her people. The Clark Canyon Dam is a good place for brown and rainbow trout fishing.
