Pets are allowed in the Six Rivers National Forest, named for the six major rivers that run within its boundaries in California: the Smith, Klamath, Trinity, Mad, Van Duzen, and Eel. The Smith River is the only major undammed, naturally flowing river remaining in California. Smith River National Recreation Area is located within the forest in northwestern California. The recreation area protects the area’s special scenic value, natural diversity, cultural and historical attributes, wilderness, wildlife, fisheries, and the Smith River watershed’s clean waters. The Forest Service has been designated as the steward of this National Recreation Area to provide recreational opportunities and to manage this diverse area for all of its natural resources. Pets are allowed on trails; must be leashed in all developed campgrounds and picnic areas. Pets are not allowed in swimming areas.
