Description
The Put In rapid marks the start of the Sinking Creek run, serving as an initial navigation challenge with a technical entry that requires precise boat positioning. Paddlers should be prepared for potential undercut rocks and shifting water dynamics near the launch point, which can create unpredictable currents and require careful route selection.
