Strongly suggest you walk this trail clockwise. This means you descend on steps rather than very slippy gravel & sand.

Smith Rock is one of the most beautiful places in Central Oregon.

The River Trail is an easy, mostly flat out-and-back path that stretches 2.5 miles along the scenic Crooked River, with stunning views of the park's iconic rock formations. It's a fantastic trail for watching climbers and spotting wildlife. While you're here, you might see a deer fording the river, and if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of an otter family swimming by. The trail also connects to other paths in the park and is a favorite for families who want to take in the scenery while enjoying mostly flat terrain.

Smith Rock is an iconic location in the climbing community as it's generally considered to be the birthplace of modern sport climbing. However, there's still plenty of reasons to visit even if you aren't a climber. The scenery is stunning, the wildlife is abundant, and the campground means you can stay a while to explore.

No switchbacks needed. If you want to get to the top in the shortest line possible, this is your route.

This orchard dates back 130 years to the McCoin family who planted the apple trees on their homestead. The trees still bear fruit because of the efforts of volunteers who prune them each spring.

Gray Butte is the tallest point in the Smith Rock State Park trail system. If you want great views and/or a hard workout, getting to the top of the butte is the way to do it!

This volcanic butte is the highest point in Smith Rock, so if you're looking for views, you'll find them up here! A great destination when you need to do some climbing training.
