Turah is a state fishing access site located along the Clark Fork River near Clinton, Montana, offering day-use access for paddlers and anglers. The site features hand-launch capability for canoes and rafts, making it a convenient put-in or take-out point for float trips on this popular northwest Montana waterway. The access is located at 13530 Turah Road in Clinton, Missoula County.
The Clark Fork River in this area offers non-technical water suitable for recreational paddlers of varying skill levels. Turah works well as part of longer float trips—paddlers commonly use this site to access multi-mile stretches downriver, with popular full-day floats extending 11-14 miles depending on your destination. This makes it an ideal intermediate access point for day trips or multi-day paddling adventures on the Clark Fork.
Plan ahead as a day-use facility, and note that nearby recreation areas like the Lower Blackfoot River Corridor may have seasonal road conditions affecting access. Check current conditions before your visit, especially during maintenance or high-water periods.
