Smith River State Park offers gorgeous scenery in a remote setting. The river is accessible only by non-motorized watercraft, including; rafts, canoes, kayaks and drift boats. The Smith River is so popular that a permit is required to float it. Up to 15 people can float with one permit. Permit applications are available the first week of January each year with a lottery drawing conducted in late February. From May 15 - July 15 floaters can stay on the river a maximum of four nights only.
