Description

Put In rapid marks the entry point into High Falls Gorge, characterized by a narrow, technical entrance with potential for shifting boulder gardens and tight maneuvering. Paddlers should be prepared for potential pinning hazards and carefully scout line options, as the rapid's initial section demands precise boat positioning and quick decision-making.
