Smith River National Recreation Area

Smith River National Recreation Area is a protected area in northwestern California, set within the rugged terrain of the Klamath Mountains and following the wild course of the Smith River. Established by Congress in 1990 and managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of Six Rivers National Forest, it preserves a remote, heavily forested landscape where coastal mountains rise against the Pacific-influenced climate of the far northern California coast. The recreation area shares its northern boundary with Redwood National and State Parks and acts as the inland complement to the famous redwood groves of the region. The Smith River itself is one of the longest designated National Wild and Scenic Rivers in the United States, and the surrounding mountains, creeks, and old-growth forests provide a setting for fishing, rafting, hiking, and camping in a setting that feels far removed from California's more developed coast. Smith River National Recreation Area is best understood as a wild, water-defined landscape shaped by heavy rainfall, salmon-bearing rivers, and rare coastal tree species. Its combination of recreational river corridors, Klamath Mountain geology, and proximity to the redwood parks makes it a key inland component of the broader northwest California protected-area network.
