This public river access point at the Monogram Foods Smith River Sports Complex offers paddlers easy entry to the Smith River, though the entrance ramp is rustic and water levels can change rapidly due to releases from Philpott Dam.

The sports complex also features trails, playgrounds, and other recreation amenities.

Visitors should check USGS water gauges and call ahead for Philpott Dam release schedules, as water temperature is cold year-round and Class I-III rapids are possible in this section.
