The 732nd Avenue Bridge access point provides boat launch access to the Clearwater River near Kimball in Meeker County. This is a medium-sized river (stream order 5) with a substantial drainage area of 1,154 square miles and average flows around 379 cubic feet per second, making it suitable for motorboats, canoes, and kayaks. As a public water access site, it is open 24 hours a day and available for both trailer launches and carry-in paddling.
Paddlers should be aware that the Clearwater River has a moderate gradient (3.4 ft/mile average) and average velocity of 1.83 feet/second, indicating a flowing river with some current. With over 148 miles of waterway and significant elevation change (512 feet total drop), the river offers varied paddling opportunities, though conditions can vary seasonally based on water levels and flow. Most standard 12-18 foot boats can be launched at this ramp. Check current water conditions and flow rates before paddling, as the river's gradient and flow characteristics make it better suited for paddlers with some experience on flowing water.
