Take Out

This is a whitewater take-out on Wolf Creek in Mineral County, Colorado, located at an elevation of approximately 7,200 feet. Wolf Creek is a medium-sized river with significant gradient, dropping nearly 2,000 feet over its 78-mile length with an average slope of 24.7 feet per mile. The creek maintains an average flow of about 69 cubic feet per second with a velocity of approximately 2 feet per second, indicating moderate to fast-moving water typical of Colorado mountain streams. This take-out site serves paddlers completing whitewater runs on Wolf Creek.

Given the stream's characteristics with a high gradient, consistent flow, and mountain setting, this is primarily suitable for kayakers and canoeists with intermediate to advanced whitewater skills. The fast current and steep gradient suggest Class II-III conditions are likely present on sections of Wolf Creek. This take-out provides essential egress for paddlers finishing their runs and should be easily accessible from the water.
