Description
Put In rapid marks the start of the Gilbert Creek run, offering paddlers an immediate entry into the creek's character with a technical boulder garden that requires precise boat placement and momentum. Navigating this initial section demands careful reading of the water, with multiple potential lines threading between and around mid-stream rocks that can quickly create pinning hazards or unexpected hydraulics.
