St. Joe River Road Access

This county-owned 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 put-in for float trips and fishing access.

The access point serves as the primary launch for popular floats to Calder (4-5 hours in summer) and is essential for recreationalists without private riverfront property.

The location was preserved for public use after community advocacy in 2022, though users should be respectful of adjacent private property.
