St. Joe River Road Access

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

The ramp allows paddlers and anglers to enter the water at the mouth of Big Creek, with a popular 4-5 hour summer float available downstream to Calder.

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