Clarks Fork Boat Launch
- May–Sep
- best months
Clarks Fork Boat Launch is a primitive boat ramp on the Clarks Fork in Wyoming, on Bureau of Land Management land within the Cody Field Office. The nearest town is Cody, and the launch is managed by the BLM. The ramp is a simple put-in for launching boats. Parking is available, and the site has enough space to comfortably navigate a truck and trailer. The access route to the ramp is very rugged, so plan on using a high-clearance vehicle to reach it. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 85°F with lows near 54°F, while winter brings highs in the upper 30s and a few snowy days each month from December through February. Hogan and Luce Campground is about 4 miles away, and the Deep Lake Trail is about 4.2 miles off. Bennett Creek, a paddling spot, is about 5.7 miles away, and the High Line Trail is about 5 miles away.
