Hells Gate State Park:
Lying on the river bottom left over from the great ice age floods about 15,000 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 Asotin Creek. At the south end of the park are basaltic columns from the Pomona flows 14 million years ago.
Lewiston City Library:
The Lewiston City Library provides the people of Lewiston with free and open access to knowledge, ideas and information and to support them in their pursuit of learning. Staff and volunteers from the Lewiston City Library help maintain the little free library at Hells Gate State Park by ensuring a continuous book supply. The library has played an indispensable role in the launch of Novels in Nature in Lewiston, Idaho.
