Description
Put In serves as the entry point for this river section, marking the beginning of the run with a relatively straightforward access point below the Forest Service road bridge. While specific technical details are limited, paddlers should be prepared for potential debris or shifting conditions typical of a mountain stream entry point, and should scout the initial descent carefully before committing to the river.
