Description
Put In is the initial rapid for this Bear Creek section, characterized by a straightforward entry with scattered boulder gardens and potential shallow rock formations. Paddlers should be prepared for potential tight maneuvering and potential debris, with careful boat placement critical during lower water levels. Scouting is recommended, particularly for first-time runners of this section.
