Description

Put In rapid marks the entry point to the Independence River's upper section, featuring a straightforward but technical start with scattered boulder gardens requiring precise maneuvering. Paddlers should be prepared for potential submerged rocks and changing water levels that can dramatically alter the rapid's character, making attentive route selection critical for a clean descent.
