Description
Put In rapid marks the start of the run, characterized by a broad, shallow entry with scattered boulder gardens that require precise boat positioning. Minimal gradient and widely spaced rocks demand careful route selection, with potential for pin hazards in low water conditions. Paddlers should scout from river right and identify the cleanest channel to avoid potential boat or swimmer entrapment.
