Description
The Put In rapid marks the entry point for the Castor River's Shut-Ins section, characterized by a narrow channel between rocky outcroppings that can create unpredictable hydraulics at varying water levels. Paddlers should be prepared for potential submerged rocks and tight maneuvering, with careful route selection critical to navigating the initial stretch of this remote Ozark stream.
