St. Joe River Road Boat Ramp

This county-maintained gravel ramp provides one of the few public access points to the St. Joe River in Shoshone County, located at the mouth of Big Creek near Potlatch Road.

The facility includes a small paved launch, T-shaped dock (approximately 30 feet long), limited parking, and a porta-potty, making it an important put-in for float trips downriver to Calder (a 4-5 hour summer float).

Note that this is a rare public access point along the river; access was preserved after community advocacy in 2022.
