Description

The Put In rapid marks the start of the Branch Brook run, featuring a straightforward entry with minimal technical challenges. Paddlers should be aware of potential submerged rocks near the riverbank and maintain a center-line approach to avoid shallow areas. While not particularly demanding, the rapid serves as a warm-up section that introduces boaters to the river's initial flow characteristics.
