Take Out

This take-out site on Clear Creek in Johnson County, Wyoming provides river access on a large stream classified as a Stream Order 7 river. Clear Creek drains a 1015 square mile watershed and maintains an average flow of 187.55 cubic feet per second with an average velocity of 2.56 feet per second. The creek drops 3193 feet in elevation over its 93.73 mile length, creating a substantial gradient of 34.1 feet per mile on average, which indicates significant whitewater characteristics throughout much of the system.

As a take-out location, this site is designed specifically for paddlers and boaters completing downstream runs on Clear Creek. The stream's high gradient, strong velocity, and large drainage area suggest this is primarily a whitewater paddling destination suitable for kayakers and canoeists with intermediate to advanced skills. The considerable elevation drop and stream gradient mean boaters should expect fast-moving water with technical sections typical of mountain streams in Wyoming.

Paddlers using this take-out should be aware of the creek's substantial flow rate and current velocity. The site's location in Johnson County provides access to one of Wyoming's notable whitewater systems, with the considerable distance to the river mouth indicating this is an upper-middle section of the creek system where conditions remain dynamic and energetic.
