Description
Put In rapid on the Roaring Fork marks the starting point for this river section, offering paddlers an immediate entry into the river's character. The rapid is generally straightforward, with no major technical challenges, but paddlers should be aware of potential debris and shifting water levels typical of mountain rivers. While not a highly technical rapid, careful line selection and momentum are key to a clean entry into the downstream section.
