Description

Put In is the starting point for the lower Tuolumne River run, serving as the launch site at Lumsden Campground with a straightforward entry into the river. Paddlers should be prepared for the immediate transition from flat water to moving current and carefully assess water levels and conditions before putting in, as the initial stretch can set the tone for the downstream rapids.
