SMITH RIVER CALIFORNIA

Just north of Crescent City along Highway 101 lies the community of Smith River, the Easter Lily Capital of the World. Smith River is known for acres and acres of Easter Lilies and green pastures grazed by both dairy and beef cattle. In fact, Smith River is the area where the earliest farming in Del Norte County began. “The White Gold Rush”, as the Smith River lily industry has been called, has grown to the point where the ten largest farms between Smith River and Brookings, Oregon account for 90% of the world’s Easter Lily production.
