Description
Take Out marks the terminus of the Hanalei River's navigable section, transitioning from whitewater to coastal conditions. The rapid features an unrunnable final drop with significant gradient and potential marine hazards, requiring paddlers to exit their craft and portage around the terminal section. Given the remote location and potential for changing ocean conditions, careful scouting and local knowledge are essential for safe passage.
