Take Out

Take Out is the terminal rapid marking the end of the Lower Stony Brook run, characterized by a complex boulder garden that requires precise maneuvering between sharp, closely-spaced rocks. Paddlers must carefully navigate a series of tight channels and potential pin hazards, with the cleanest line typically following a narrow, technical route near the river right bank. Good boat control and the ability to make quick, decisive moves are essential to safely exit this challenging section before reaching the confluence with the Ramapo River.
