St. Joe River Access
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.
