Description

Put In rapid marks the starting point for the McNeil section of the Sandy River, characterized by a relatively straightforward entry with potential shallow areas and small boulder gardens. Paddlers should scout the initial put-in carefully to identify the cleanest line and navigate around potential rock clusters, paying close attention to water levels which can significantly impact route selection and difficulty.
