Island Ford Boat Access
This access point provides a convenient launch spot for canoes, kayaks, tubes, and small rafts. Intermediate–level paddlers planning medium-length floats along the Smith River Greenway corridor. Water conditions are generally calm with occasional mild currents; always verify current flow before planning a trip.
Accessibility Overview: This launch outperforms basic riverbank entries but is not suitable for full ADA-compliance. Ideal for most outdoor enthusiasts—but paddlers with mobility challenges should consider alternative launches with paved ramps or docks. Amenities: a kiosk with maps, nearby restrooms, and a large shelter are available at the Smith River Greenway trailhead.
