• Smith River—The Smith River, managed as a state park, features an incredible 59-mile stretch of river with only one put-in and one take-out point. Due to the demand for floating use and the need to manage the resource and recreational experience, a limited number of float permits are issued. The application for the Smith River permit is due each year on February 15. [more details]
