St. Joe River Road Access

This county-maintained gravel ramp at Big Creek provides one of only a handful of public access points to the Saint Joe River in Shoshone County, making it a critical put-in for float trips and fishing access.

The ramp allows paddlers and anglers to launch into Big Creek and access the river for activities like rafting, kayaking, and fly fishing.

Access was preserved after community advocacy in 2022, though users should be respectful of nearby private property and follow pack-it-in, pack-it-out principles.
