Description

Located at Forest Road 247 mile 32.0. The traditional put-in for the Quartz Creek run down to Aquarius Campground. A fair access point on river right where Quartz Creek joins the North Fork Clearwater. The dispersed campsite on the upstream river left side of the Quartz Creek bridge has a trail down to the creek. You can also scramble down at the bridge. Getting a raft in at this site is cumbersome but possible.
