Clarkston is a small city named after William Clark, of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The city is located in the Lewis-Clark Valley which is where the Snake and Clearwater Rivers meet, and is surrounded by gentle rolling hills. The area around Clarkston is often called the "Banana Belt" due to the area's low elevation and year-round warm weather.
Very mild winters allow for many year round activities such as golfing, sailing, fishing, and bike riding along miles of paved pathways.
