Description
Put In rapid marks the start of the Cottonwood Creek run, offering paddlers an immediate entry into the creek's character with a technical boulder garden that requires precise maneuvering. Boaters should be prepared to navigate tight channels between large rocks, with potential for pin hazards and the need for quick, decisive boat placement.
