About This Access Site
Put In is a whitewater access point on Big Creek in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Big Creek is a medium-sized river with a total length of 24.31 miles and features a significant gradient of 16.1 feet per mile, making it suitable for whitewater paddling. The water body drains an area of 174 square miles with an average flow of 141.81 cubic feet per second and average velocity of 1.82 feet per second, indicating moderate to fast-moving current that will appeal to kayakers and canoeists seeking whitewater recreation.

This put-in location is positioned in the lower portion of the creek system, approximately 1.27 miles from the river mouth. Paddlers should expect relatively consistent flow and moderate current conditions typical of a Stream Order 5 river. The elevation gain from the put-in area down to the mouth is part of a larger 392-foot total drop across the entire creek system, concentrated in the upper and middle sections.
