The Klamath Mountains and the Smith River, one of the longest National Wild and Scenic River in the U.S., offer a variety of recreational opportunities. Smith River National Recreation Area has five campgrounds located near major streams and along the Smith River. The recreation area is considered one of the best fishing regions in the U.S. and Rafting is available. Most hiking trails are accessible year-round, but all activities may be greatly affected by heavy rain that swells creeks and rivers.
