Reported by: Oregon D.F.W. The Smith River, is a 75-mile long major tributary of the Umpqua River. Unlike the Umpqua, which originates in the Cascade Mountains, the Smith River originates in the Oregon Coast Range and has the same character as other coastal streams such as the Siuslaw and Alsea Rivers to the north.
We ran the North Fork on the second day of our Smith River trip. Eleven of us from all over Oregon had fled winter drought conditions up north to find solace in the ever-plentiful Smith River drainage. Luckily it had rained a couple of inches a few days prior to our arrival, so the North Fork was (just) runnable.
