Description

Put In is the initial access point for the Deep Creek run, marking the start of the river descent with a straightforward entry that allows paddlers to assess water levels and boat positioning. While not technically a challenging rapid itself, it serves as a critical launching zone where boaters must carefully navigate initial currents and potential debris near the dam outflow.
