Bluff is a small community of 340 people along the San Juan River in the southeastern corner of Utah. It serves mainly as a stopping off point for those traveling in the area and as a base for those running the San Juan River. The Sand Island Camping Area is the put-in site and also famous for its rock art. Bluff has several small motels, a few campgrounds, a selection of restaurants and a few service stations, grocery stores and shops.
