Description
Put In is the starting point for the challenging Fordyce Creek descent, marking the transition from Fordyce Lake into a demanding whitewater run. The rapid itself provides an immediate technical entry, with tight navigation through initial boulder fields and potential for pinning hazards that require precise boat placement and quick maneuvering. Paddlers should scout thoroughly and be prepared for a consequential first drop that sets the tone for the complex and committing nature of the downstream section.
