Smith River Fest

Come to Axton’s annual Smith River Fest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Smith River Sports Complex.

This event celebrates all things associated with the Smith River, including swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing.

Ride the river, learn to fly-fish, browse vendors and take on the challenge of the Helgramite Hustle 5K Mud Run.

Join the celebration of the Smith River and it’s 45 miles of scenic beauty and the nearly 20 miles of shared-use trails that make up the Smith River Trail System.

Admission and parking are free.
