Barretts Fishing Access Site

Barretts Fishing Access Site marks the boundary between the upper and lower Beaverhead River sections, located 18 miles downstream of Clark Canyon Dam.

This access point serves as a take-out location for float trips and provides wading access to the river; approximately 50% of the river's water is diverted here into irrigation ditches, significantly reducing flows downstream.

The site is a popular endpoint for anglers floating the productive upper river section between Clark Canyon Dam and Barretts.
