Description

Take Out is the terminal rapid before Cochiti Reservoir, characterized by a gradual slowdown and increasing flatwater conditions as the Rio Grande transitions from moving water to stillwater. Paddlers should anticipate a diminishing gradient and prepare for a flat, slow-moving approach to the reservoir takeout point, with potential wind and open exposure.
