Description
Put In rapid marks the starting point for this section of Swatara Creek, characterized by a gentle entry with minimal technical challenges. Paddlers should be aware of potential debris and shallow sections near the Canal Park launch, which can require careful navigation during low water conditions. While not a particularly demanding rapid, careful line selection and awareness of local river conditions are recommended.
