About This Access Site
Ahsahka 2 offers a convenient boat ramp and public facilities for accessing the Clearwater River in north-central Idaho. This Class 5 medium river features moderate current with an average flow of 379 cubic feet per second and a gradient of 3.4 feet per mile, making it suitable for recreational boating and paddling. The site provides direct access to one of Idaho's premier fishing and boating destinations, with bathrooms available for visitor use.

The Clearwater River at this location sits at approximately 288 feet elevation and flows through scenic forested terrain. Paddlers should be aware that this is a substantial river system with consistent current and multiple bridge crossings downstream (10 bridges total along the river). The nearby Dworshak Reservoir and Dworshak State Park (within 10 miles) offer additional camping and recreation opportunities for those planning a longer trip. Note that while the access site remains open to the public, Idaho Fish and Game's patrol presence is limited, so visitors should plan accordingly.
