Description

The Highway 99 Take-Out is primarily a river exit point rather than a notable rapid, marking the end of the Thermalito Outlet section. Paddlers should be aware of potential debris, shallow areas, and potential river traffic when approaching this location, and carefully scout the take-out area for safe boat extraction and vehicle access.
