Upper Red Ives Creek

Upper Red Ives Creek USFS #320 is an infrequently used dirt and gravel route in the St. Joe National Forest that runs from the Montana border near Missoula Lake to Heller Creek, Idaho. The route is mildly rough and subject to washouts, downed trees, and seasonal fires so bring a saw, shovel, and be prepared. There are few places to pass, and some sections are mild shelf roads- keep to the uphill side of the roadway. The area is quite remote, with some hunting and fishing activity, and entry from Avery or Superior to reach the track may have fallen trees blocking the way. There is no cell phone service in the area. There are deer, elk, bear, and grouse in the area with campgrounds and dispersed camping available. For current conditions call the St. Joe Ranger District at 208-245-2531.
