According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Clark Fork has a humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfb" on climate maps. This climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters. Ĭlark Fork is a small town that focuses on agriculture, forestry, small businesses and tourism (camping, hunting and fishing). By the 1890s a ferry boat service was used to cross the river or to travel as far as Heron, Montana, about 12 miles (20 km) upriver. The origins of an actual town date back to when the Northern Pacific Railway constructed a line adjacent to the Clark Fork River, near the eastern shore of Lake Pend Oreille in the early 1880s. After the Lewis and Clark Expedition, fur traders would pass through the area. It is believed the Lewis and Clark party encountered the Clark Fork River near present-day Missoula, Montana, in October 1805. The town of Clark Fork was named in honor of William Clark, who along with Meriwether Lewis, headed the expedition through the western American wilderness in 1804. The Kutenai Indians have lived in the area around Lake Pend Oreille for centuries, well before the first Europeans explored the North American wilderness. The Lightning Creek passes just north and west of the town. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.92 square miles (2.38 km 2), all of it land. The town is situated on the Clark Fork River, on the eastern shores of Lake Pend Oreille. The bill came to almost $60, before tax and tip (and no dessert), which we felt was quite high for what we got.Clark Fork is a small town in Bonner County, Idaho. We had wanted to add an elderberry pie dessert to the meal, but at $12 for a slice, we decided against it. I had a much more filling pork coconut curry stew, along with the same sides (minus the fries).
All was well prepared, but not very filling. My wife had a calamari steak dinner that included a cabbage soup, a few slices of soda bread, a small but very tasty salad with a sweet balsamic vinaigrette dressing, a serving of fries, and about a 3-1/2 oz. On the down side, serving sizes are pretty small and the prices pretty high for what you get (especially for a tiny, out-of-the-way town). But the food is well prepared and graciously served. The menu is limited and not everything on it is always available. The decor features lots of homey and cutesy touches that makes for. There are several dining rooms we were in a very small room near the back that had just three tables. Squeeze Inn is a small, family run restaurant built into a converted house.
