Description

Put In is a transition rapid marking the start of the Pioneer Rocks section, characterized by a narrow entry and scattered boulder garden requiring precise boat positioning. Paddlers must carefully navigate the initial boulder field and watch for potential pin hazards between rocks, with the most navigable line typically threading center-right through the initial drop.
