Craig's Creek Access provides a trailhead for a 3. 7-mile moderate hiking trail that descends to the confluence of Craig's Creek and the South Fork Smith River, offering a secluded riverside location with swimming opportunities and boulder beaches.

The trail begins at Tryon Bridge on the north side of South Fork Road (about 15 minutes from Gasquet) and passes through old-growth redwood and Douglas fir forest before reaching a tranquil riverside oasis with smooth rocks suitable for swimming.

Note that poison oak is present along the trail edges, and a landslide has been reported approximately 2 miles into the hike that may affect passability.
