Smith Ridge Road Access provides entry to the alpine Smith Ridge Trailhead at 7,077 feet elevation in the Mallard Larkins Roadless Area, located on the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests.

The access road (Road 700) crosses the North Fork Clearwater River before climbing approximately 13 miles through the Isabella drainage to reach the trailhead at Smith Ridge Creek.

While primarily a hiking and backpacking access point with dispersed camping available, note that potable water is not available at the site.
