The start of this trailhead is a great location to take a dip and swim with the family. There is a rope swing under the bridge with many areas to set up camp for the day. The water is crystal blue! The Craigs Creek trailhead follows the River upstream east. There are multiple locations on both sides of the River to take a dip, just keep looking for parking turn outs. Park anywhere outside of white lines. Find more parking at the Forks River Access and Boat Ramp which is also a great location to put in for Kayaks/tubes.

Beautiful !!! The water is crystal clear! Bridge is a great view😛

Great swimming spot and a very cool rope swing. Enjoy yourself and be safe.

We were riding our motorcycles and saw this bridge overlooking the river. Nice spot to hangout and click done pictures

Always wanted to do this trail after we gave up on it as a kid for it being too hard. Finally did it! A bit overgrown toward the end with some poison oak so be careful. See review on All Trails for more detailed info.

Nice shaded trail down to the water and a small sandy area. Probably a great area to go swimming.

With just a little hike down the trail.... You'll find a treasure

The trail itself was disappointing to me because u CAN'T actually see the river beyond the bridge. But its a good reference point for finding the rope swing etc. Smith River is unbelievably clean & crystal 🔮 clear ... great for cooling off ... Jumping from giant boulders .. Rope swing from the bridge ...snorkeling ... Chilling out .. Good break after a hike thru Stout Grove. A hidden gem 💎 👍
