At the heart of the Smith River Valley lies White Sulphur Springs. For centuries the namesake hot springs have drawn people to the region and justifiably so, as the Spa Hot Springs Motel can boast to having untreated spring water comparable to the famous springs in Baden Baden, Germany. White Sulphur Springs sits in the midst of Lewis and Clark National Forest, with unlimited opportunities for hiking, camping, fishing, bird watching and hunting. White Sulphur Springs is the ideal starting or ending point for excursions into the Smith River Canyon and Smith River State Park.
