Smith Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Smith Creek Bridge to above Smith Creek Falls section is the only one. The natural beauty of Boundary County and the water flowing gracefully down Smith Creek attract people from near and far. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at
a nearby campground. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good places for that around here. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to
stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
