Smith River

California's northernmost town, where the river meets the sea

About 15 minutes north of Crescent City

15 minutes from Crescent City, CA and 15 minutes from Brookings, Oregon, Smith River is a central location to enjoy the life of Del Norte County. Living in Smith River, you are minutes from the Pacific Ocean, minutes from the Smith River, and only minutes from the redwoods. While Smith River is dubbed the Easter Lily Capital of the World, if you are looking for a home with an ocean or river view, this is the place to look.

In Smith River, the Smith River meets the Pacific. While the lily fields are low and lovely, they quickly meet the Klamath Range, and the views from these hills are breathtaking. Whether you buy a home or acreage on Ocean View Drive or near the Nautical Heights development, you will find incredible panoramas of the coastline, north into Oregon and south to Point St. George. Ocean views include incredible sea stacks and gorgeous sunsets. River views include the mouth of the Smith, a sight to be seen.

Hillside homes in Smith River are thick with trees and foliage. Without a doubt, for a view, look to Smith River to find oceanfront, ocean-view, riverfront and river-view properties, or a redwoods experience. To cap off the wonder of the area, you have the bloom of the Easter lily fields each year, the ranches in the valley, and the pleasure of watching the Aleutian geese in the fields every year. Sitting in the “banana belt,” Smith River's temperatures may be just what you are looking for. For a place where you can choose your own pace as well as your view, try Smith River.
