Clark Fork

River flowing through western Montana and northern Idaho, USA; length 580 km/360 mi. It rises near Butte as Silver Bow Creek, and empties into Lake Pend Oreille and from there into the Columbia River via the Pend Oreille River. The Clark Fork drains much of western Montana into the Columbia system.

During the last glacial age, the river was repeatedly dammed by ice (forming glacial Lake Missoula) and released, its outflowing waters forming much of west Washington's Scablands.
