Description
The Put In rapid marks the start of the Brandywine Creek's whitewater section, providing paddlers with an initial navigational challenge through a series of small ledges and rock formations. While not particularly difficult, the rapid requires careful maneuvering to avoid potential pinning points and navigate the scattered boulder garden, with the primary line typically running center to center-right depending on water levels.
