Downstream, the river valley deepens as it enters the Interior Plains and meandering channels are characterized by sandbars and islands.
The river's most spectacular feature is the broad, deep, glacial spillway in the river's lower reaches, but other interesting landforms include evidence of glacial drift along the valley corridor; where small gorges cut deeply into sedimentary rocks.
But for most of those exploring Clearwater River backcountry, float-plane charters to fishing and hunting camps on lakes on or near the river are the preferred means of beginning or ending trips.

As the Clearwater is not a catch and release stream, the annual moving of prime holding water keeps even the meat hounds from finding the best trout.
Anglers should be familiar with the feeding habits of the bull and brown trout of the Clearwater system in the mid to lower reaches, as these fish typically feed sporadically in certain water, light, and temperature conditions.
This is a very challenging river to fish and expectations should be to land perhaps one or two good fish the first several trips unless you go with a guide or local who knows the river well.

Mighty rivers drain north and east from the Rocky Mountains into the watershed of the Arctic Ocean.
In reality, there is a great diversity of vegetation and wildlife in the boreal forests, from the complex wetland meanders of the Hay River to the lush mixed forests of aspen, pine and spruce in the Lakeland area, to the complex vegetation mosaics of the Clearwater, Peace and Athabasca river valleys.
Thus, the need to protect places in the boreal forest like the Caribou Mountains, the Clearwater River valley, Buffalohead Hills, Wabasca River and Lakeland is urgent as the eyes of the resource hungry south turn more and more to the north.

My vacation trip to the Calgary and Jasper areas of Alberta only the year before planted a seed in my subconscious about the desire to hunt fl bears.
Another reason I had the desire to hunt fl bear was after last fall's elk hunt (in CO) during which my son Jason got his first 5 point bull elk and I missed mine at over three hundred yards, I went home feeling a need for a new hunting adventure.
The first thing I did was to log on to my computer and start searching for hunting in Alberta and I found this wonderful web site, Alberta Outdoors (www.abhunting.com).

In my early years of canoeing wild rivers I meticulously tied everything into my canoe.
The place to tie in packs is on a big brawny river with rapids that run for miles.
For example, the lower Clearwater River in Alberta averages around 5 miles an hour, and some long stretches run twice that speed.
