Lenore is an unincorporated community in Nez Perce County, Idaho, United States.

Lenore is located on the north bank of the Clearwater River 23 miles (37 km) east-northeast of Lewiston.

[3] In 1903, Lenore was an important railroad station, and was a small trading and shipping center along the Clearwater Short Line Railway.

The tram carried sacks of grain more than 4 miles, down from the rim of the canyon and across the Clearwater River to the railroad tracks.

It was a feat of engineering that enabled farmers on the Camas Prairie to haul their grain just to the top of the ridge, rather than having to wind down the steep, horse-tiring grades.
