St. Joe River Road Access
St. Joe River Road Access
St. Joe River Road Access provides one of the few public access points to the Saint Joe River in Shoshone County, featuring a gravel ramp at Big Creek that allows boaters and anglers to launch into the river. The 23-mile stretch of St.
Joe River Road between Avery and Calder serves as the main access route for the southern portion of the county, though road conditions have deteriorated in recent years with limited maintenance funding.
This access point is particularly valuable for float trips, with the popular Big Creek to Calder float taking approximately 4-5 hours in summer conditions.
