Description
Put In is the initial access point for the challenging Flume section of the West Branch Ausable, marking the start of a technical descent. The entry point requires careful boat positioning and precise maneuvering to avoid potential hazards in the narrow, boulder-strewn corridor. Paddlers should scout thoroughly and be prepared for quick route adjustments in the confined, gradient-heavy terrain.
