Thirteen miles south of the Oregon border lies the quaint community of Smith River. Adjacent to Rowdy Creek near where the Smith River meets the Pacific Ocean, the area is known as the “Easter Lily Capital of the World” because it produces most of the world's Easter lily bulbs that flower every spring. The Redwood National Park, Smith River National Recreation Area, and 10 State Parks are within 20 mi. of Smith River, making it a great place to headquarter for exploring these exciting attractions.
