I have a pond that is so murky that you can barely even see the fish. Any advise on what how I should clean it?

I’m considering building a rustic campsite on my land.. I have a wonderful large valley and huge hill that would help keep the pond full when it rains, plus it would provide water for the wildlife around…
Who would I contact to help me plan a pond for free, or is there a website that gives good examples that I could get basic ideas from?
Thank You Very Much .. for your time!
OK.. I left out some details.. I am on bed rock, I have a skidsteer loader and tracks…and Missouri Mud RED CLAY is plantiful in the valley.. My concerns are mostly with road run off that I do not want to contaminate my pond, and keeping the fish healthy, along with design and whatever the pond needs to stay healthy natually, or with other systems installed to keep it healthy if i need to add them.
You guys are all too good.. having a very difficult time choosing between since each has good points…I should say I am thinking of a half acre pond, not a little garden pond, my valley can support it.. but that leaves local laws, since I live upward from a natural river, if I will be able to build it and land surveys if it will hold water, since I hadn’t really though about the caves that are near me, i could have an underground area that would drain my pond…hmm.. well that said.. boillerrat I’ll check with the services you’ve mentioned..and if the pond holds water, everyone is welcome to fish, or skinny dip..but hopefully not at the same time.

I have a pond but i cant think of something that will hold the water. i currently have a waterproof tarp thing but im sure that wont last very long, also what can i put in the bottom of it. I tryed to put sand but it makes the water go very blury and you cant see the bottom, even after i wash it many times.

I live in southern california and I am worried that the pond water is still too cold for my pond turtle. She is of good size so she isn’t tiny at all. We are moving her from an indoor tank to an outdoor pond. We have put in larger feeder fish to start the outdoor pond and they seem to be suriving and doing find. Should the turtle be okay in the same water since the fish require more heat than the turtle?

The pond is about 4 ft round, 2 feet deep and I have a fountain running. It has turned so green we can’t see the fish unless they come to the surface to eat.
