Description
Put In rapid marks the initial entry point for this Tails Creek section, offering paddlers a straightforward but critical launch zone. The rapid provides minimal technical challenges, primarily serving as a transition from the highway access point into the river's main flow. Careful boat positioning and momentum management are recommended when entering the current from the Ridgeway boat ramp.
