Description
Put In rapid at the start of the Buck Creek run offers paddlers an immediate entry point with potential shallow rock gardens and potential shifting water levels. Precise navigation is critical here, as initial river conditions can set the tone for the downstream descent, requiring careful boat positioning and reading water in the first few hundred yards below the Lake Tahoma Dam.
