About This Access Site
The Peck boat ramp provides access to the Clearwater River, a medium-sized stream with steady flow averaging 379 cubic feet per second. Located in Nez Perce County near the historic town of Peck, this site serves as a launch point for paddlers and boaters exploring the scenic forested landscape of central Idaho. The river in this area ranges from 288 to 444 meters elevation with a moderate gradient of approximately 3.4 feet per mile, offering manageable conditions for experienced paddlers.

**Important Note:** This ramp is best suited for experienced users with appropriate equipment. A 4-wheel drive vehicle and winch are required to successfully launch and retrieve boats—this is not a typical paved ramp for average recreational use. The site serves as a popular takeoff point for upriver jet boat travel to remote ranches and backcountry access points along the river.

Nearby recreational opportunities include Dworshak Reservoir to the north and the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, which connects to the region's rich cultural heritage. Dworshak State Park's Three Meadows Group Camp is located within 10 miles and offers camping facilities for extended trips. Paddlers should be prepared for remote conditions and verify current water levels and access conditions before visiting.
