Description

Put In rapid on the Blackburn section of the Neches River requires careful navigation through a boulder-strewn channel with multiple potential lines. Paddlers should be prepared for tight maneuvering between rocks and potential pin hazards, with the primary challenge being precise boat positioning to avoid hydraulic traps and rocky obstructions.
