St. Joe River Access

St. Joe River Access at Big Creek in Shoshone County provides one of the few public boat launch points along nearly 50 miles of the river, featuring a gravel ramp that provides access for float trips and fishing.

This access point is critical for recreationalists, as the popular 4-5 hour float from Big Creek to Calder would be nearly twice as long if using the next closest access point at Marble Creek.

The site includes a gravel ramp suitable for launching rafts and boats to access the Saint Joe River's clear waters.
