This day use area provides access to the Smith River with amenities including parking, boat/canoe launches, and a vault toilet, making it an ideal jumping-off point for paddling and water recreation.

An $8 per vehicle day use fee is required, and the area features a summer hikers' bridge for upstream access to Stout Memorial Grove.

The emerald green waters remain cool and inviting even during summer months, attracting families with canoes, kayaks, and rafts to the cobbled riverbanks.
