Description
Take Out is marked by the presence of Whipkey Dam, which creates a critical hazard for paddlers and requires a mandatory portage. Paddlers must carefully exit the river before reaching the dam to avoid the dangerous hydraulic and potential entrapment zones. This location demands careful scouting and strict adherence to river safety protocols.
