Panther Flat
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Panther Flat is the largest and most popular campground in the Smith River NRA with 38 campsites. It is located on a flat about 50 feet above the Middle Fork of Smith River. Highway 199 borders the south side. Trees shade the campground and lush huckleberry bushes fill in the area between sites.There are no views of the river from any of the campsites. Campers must take a short (three minute) walk down the trail or drive to the Panther Flat Picnic Area for river viewing and access. The picnic area is a no-fee, day-use only area with, grills, water, a horseshoe pit, and eight picnic tables (one is double-length). It has a lovely view of the Smith River and some world class fishing. Two short paths lead from the picnic area to swimming holes one has a small sandy beach.
