6th Annual Smith River Fest

Bring the entire family out for a fun day to celebrate the great outdoors on Saturday, August 10, 2013! Started in 2008, Smith River Fest is an annual event held in Martinsville-Henry County, Virginia. The purpose of the event is to showcase the Smith River and surrounding region as a recreational destination and a venue for novice and veteran paddlers alike to experience the beautiful waters of the Smith.

The event is truly a celebration of all things associated with the Smith River: paddling, hiking, biking, fishing and nature watching! Paddlers will love the variety that the Smith River offers from calm floats to I/II rapids. There really is something for everyone at the Smith River Fest.
