Upper Landing Picnic Area is a developed access point on the Saint Joe River featuring 4 picnic sites, a group shelter, potable water, and vault toilets, making it ideal for both day-use paddlers and anglers.

Located approximately 1 mile upstream of Avery, Idaho on Forest Highway 50, the site charges a $10 day-use fee per vehicle (Memorial weekend through fall) and serves as a gateway to the St.

Joe Wild & Scenic River with multiple downstream access points for river floats ranging from 1-5 hours of paddling.
