Description

Put In rapid serves as the entry point for the Ohanapecosh River run, marking the beginning of a challenging descent through tight, technical terrain. While not a particularly difficult rapid, it requires careful navigation through a narrow channel with potential for rock pinning and limited maneuvering space, demanding precise boat positioning and quick paddle strokes.
