Description

Put In is a transitional rapid marking the start of the Gauley River's lower section, with minimal technical challenges but requiring careful initial navigation through scattered rocks and potential shallow water. Paddlers should be prepared for a gentle entry into the river's more demanding downstream features, maintaining situational awareness and selecting clean lines between visible obstacles.
