Map of the Smith River float. We put in at Camp Baker (at the bottom of the map) and float north for 59 river miles in 5 days to the take-out at Eden Bridge (top left of map).
Our gear-boaters float ahead of the guide boats and set up camp each day. Guide boats arrive in to camp in time for appetizers and refreshments, followed by a delicious dinner prepared by our staff. After dinner, guests often enjoy more walk-wade fishing along the banks, a hike in the woods, a campfire, and relaxing under the stars.
