South Fork River Access

An undeveloped cobble and pebble boat ramp provides river access at the start of the Recreational section.

Getting there

From Hungry Horse, turn south off US Highway 2 onto the East Side Reservoir Road, Forest Road 38, half a mile east of town, and drive through Martin City. The pavement ends after two miles; stay on the gravel 55 miles to Spotted Bear Ranger Station. The access sits a short way downstream of the station, where the Wild designation gives way to Recreational. Forest Road 38 closes between mileposts 37 and 53 from December 1 to May 14 for winter wildlife.
