Description
The Put In rapid marks the starting point for this Russian River section, offering a straightforward entry with minimal technical challenges. Paddlers should be aware of potential shallow areas and scattered rocks near the launch point, which may require careful navigation depending on water levels. While not a particularly demanding rapid, attentive maneuvering is recommended to avoid potential hazards during put-in.
