Description
Put In rapid marks the entry point to the Prater Creek section, characterized by a scattered boulder field and potential wood hazards requiring careful boat positioning. Paddlers should scout from river right and identify a clean line between rocks, with minimal margin for error in the initial drop. Early season flows can increase the technical difficulty and potential for pin hazards.
