Description

Take Out rapid on Alarka Creek is a low-volume technical section with multiple small ledges and tight boulder clusters that require precise boat positioning. Paddlers should anticipate potential pin hazards in narrow passages and be prepared to navigate carefully between rock formations, with limited room for error during lower water levels.
