St. Joe River Road Access

This county-maintained gravel ramp at Big Creek provides one of only a handful of public access points along nearly 50 miles of the St. Joe River, making it a critical launch point for float trips and fishing access.

The ramp provides vehicle access down to Big Creek's mouth where it meets the St. Joe River, serving as a popular put-in for multi-hour float trips downstream to Calder.

Access is maintained by Shoshone County and is open to public use for boating and fishing activities.
