Description
Put In rapid marks the entry point for this section of the Clearwater's South Fork, featuring an initial rock garden that requires precise maneuvering between partially submerged boulders. Paddlers should carefully scout the rapid's entry and choose a clean line that avoids potential pin spots and navigates the scattered mid-stream obstacles. While not exceptionally challenging, the rapid demands careful route selection and attentive boat control.
