South Fork of the Smith River is online

The South Fork of the Smith River is well-known for the South Fork Gorge, which boasts 1.5 miles of consistent Class III-V action. The scenery and highway access to this stretch mean you can and should lap this multiple times in an afternoon. Just downstream of this section is Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, so you can relax/camp among the trees once you’re done rafting.
