Description
Put In is the starting point for the Whatcom Creek run, marking the transition from Lake Whatcom into the creek proper. Paddlers should be prepared for an immediate narrow entry with potential hazards from submerged logs and tight maneuvering between shoreline vegetation. While the rapid itself is not technically rated, careful navigation and situational awareness are critical in this initial section.
