Description
Put In rapid marks the entry point to Castle Creek's whitewater section, with a straightforward but technical start that requires careful navigation through a series of small boulder gardens. Paddlers should be prepared for potential shallow water and tight maneuvering between rocks, especially at lower water levels, and scout the initial downstream line to identify the cleanest route through potential rock obstacles.
