Description

Put In Rapid marks the starting point for the Upper Smith Creek run, with an uneven boulder-strewn entry that requires precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering. Paddlers should be prepared for tight technical moves between irregular rock formations and potential hidden undercut hazards, necessitating careful scouting and a clean, deliberate line through the initial section.
