St. Joe River Road Access

This rare public access point at Big Creek provides one of only a handful of boat launch locations along the 50-mile St.

Joe River, featuring a gravel ramp from Potlatch Road down to the creek mouth—essential for float trips to popular takeout points like Calder.

The access was preserved after community advocacy in 2024, making it a critical resource for paddlers and anglers who lack private riverfront property.
