River, Railroad, and Timber . . . 

These three words not only describe the history of the St. Joe River Valley, they are words that have shaped the lives of settlers, residents, and families who have taken root in this splendid little valley—a valley surrounded by rugged hills and mountains leading down to the silvery waters of The Joe. 

Today, the former railroad bed is a highway; timber is no longer king of the Swiftwater. But, The Joe‚s magnetic attraction reaches out to those who relish hunting, fishing, hiking, and riding—whether on horseback, bicycle, snowmobile, or four-wheeler—this valley is vibrantly alive to visitors, and to those who call it home.
