“welcome to the gates of hell!”
Hells Gate lies on river bottom left over from the great ice age floods about 15,000 years ago. At the south end of the park are basaltic columns from the Pomona flows 14 million years ago. Hells Gate State Park was once the site of a Nez Perce Village. Little is left of the village, but depressions south of the campground are the remnants of pit houses used for years by the Nez Perce as they fished for lamprey near Astoin Creek. Hells Gate State Park is a lush green paradise located on the banks of the Snake River just 4 miles from downtown Lewiston, ID. Large campsites with plenty of shade beckon visitors. Users can visit the Lewis & Clark Discovery Center or the Jack O'Connor Hunting Heritage and Education Center, both located at Hells Gate. Private guides offer jet boat tours into Hells Canyon.
Beautiful little cabins that sit directly on the snake river. Hot showers too!
