Camp Lincoln, swimming & fishing for Salmon, Steelhead or Trout in the Smith River. Or, for dry camping at what resident's call "Pacific Shores" to use their off road vehicles on the beach and ride their horses on acres of ocean bluffs.

There are miles of private and public sand dunes that stretch from the mouth of the Smith River to the north, past the Lake Earl & Lake Tolowas to the Point St. George parking lot on the south along the Pacific Ocean near Crescent City .
