About Smith River
Time it for spring
If you want to see the Easter lily fields in bloom, but check ahead since the working farms aren't tourist attractions and are best viewed from the road.
Fish or float the Smith River
Fish or float In fall/winter for steelhead or spring/summer for a scenic, undammed river float, but book a local guide since access points aren't always obvious.
Plan around river and redwood access.
A rental with washer/dryer and gear storage nearby makes it easier to layer in a Smith River float, a steelhead trip, and a Jedediah Smith Redwoods day without shuffling bags in and out of a hotel.
