I'm debating a move to this county and would like to get some information / experiences about the area.

Thanks

I lived there some years ago. What are you looking to learn about it?

General opinion of the area? Good place to shoot (long range a plus)?

Lewiston is...meh OK. I've lived in nicer places, but it's OK. The area outside of Lewiston is mo betta. The mill stinks, especially when there's an inversion in the winter. The Waha and Forest area is nice.

You can shoot long range on any Forest Service or BLM lands. Getting to them from Lewiston involves a bit of a drive. The Snake River breaks west of Cottonwood used to be about the closest that I know of.

Is there a specific reason you're considering Lewiston? Job or something?

I’m in Latah county just to the north. Live in Moscow. It’s 40 minutes north of Lewiston, but I drive down all the time. The mill does stink, but told residents become sort of nose blind to it. If you live further up the hill it’s unnoticeable. Lewiston and Clarkston have more people and shopping than Moscow, but Moscow is cooler (both meanings of the term). Lewiston is more conservative than Moscow. Better fishing too. PM me with any specific questions.

I am also in Latah county to the north, I spent a couple summers working out of Lewiston though.I much prefer the Moscow area as well.
There is a shooting range in Lapwai that is decent,I drive down occasionally but generally I just head to public land in Latah county because it is more convenient.

Sounds like I should expand my search for a place to live.

I also live to the north of Lewiston, in Moscow it pretty much what has been said before me The mill stinks, even to the point, that if the wind blows right you can small it here. but thats only a day or two out of the year

dont know about any formal shoot ranges. Just go east to the woods. Lewiston is conservative, while Moscow, being a College town is more liberal.
Damn hot in the summer, down in that valley. we are always 10 degrees cooler up here.

Didn't know there were so many members here in Moscow

Already mentioned this in another similar thread. We live in NPC, about 15 miles east of Lewiston. Moved here a little over 2 years ago. I'd heard all about how bad the mill stinks. I think that's way overblown. Yes, it can smell badly. But it's only relatively near the mill and it's maybe a day or two a week, if that. The odor is pretty localized. The first 6 months I lived in an RV park in Clarkston right at the confluence. Rarely smelled the mill. I wouldn't let that discourage you.

Yes, it is hot in the valley. On the other hand, when people in Moscow are shoveling 8" of snow off their driveways, people in the valley are saying, "'what snow?" Decent shopping, low unemployment, plenty of jobs depending on your skills. I shoot at the Lewis Clark Wildlife Club just because it's close. I haven't found the best places on public land to shoot just yet.

^Nez Perce County. It shares a border with WA in the northern part of the state.

Uh...no.

Every time I drive to Lewiston I smell that poison. Every, single, time.

It is localized around only 90% of Lewiston, so that’s good I guess.

Another call-in from Moscow. I vastly prefer Moscow, although the gardening season is a month longer on either end of the seasons in the valley.

Wow, seems like everyone is from up north. Will have to check out that area. Still haven't made it up there.

And I don't just visit occasionally. I live and work in the area and drive right by the mill 5 days a week. As a matter of fact, it seems the smell from the mill is less and less frequent, especially over the past several months. I've heard thru the local news they're doing a lot of upgrades out there so maybe part of that is/has been equipment to mitigate the odor.
