Description

Put In is the entry point for the High Falls Gorge section, characterized by its tight, technical entry that requires precise boat positioning to avoid undercut rocks along the river's edges. Paddlers should be prepared for a potentially blind approach and carefully scout the entrance, as the initial drop can quickly funnel into a narrow constriction with limited room for error.
