Description
Put In rapid marks the starting point for the challenging lower Chetco section, with a technical entry that requires careful boat positioning to avoid scattered midstream boulders. Paddlers should scout the initial drop and be prepared for potential pin hazards in the tight, rocky constriction that sets the tone for the downstream whitewater.
