Put In is a whitewater put-in access point on Clear Creek in Clackamas County, Oregon. Clear Creek is a substantial river system with a total length of nearly 94 miles and a significant elevation drop of 3193 feet, making it a dynamic waterway with variable conditions throughout its course. The stream order of 7 indicates this is a large river system with considerable flow and drainage area of over 1000 square miles. With an average flow of 187.55 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 2.56 feet per second, paddlers should expect moderate current conditions typical of Pacific Northwest whitewater streams. The average gradient of 34.1 feet per mile suggests reasonably consistent rapids and features suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers depending on the specific section being paddled.
