Description
Put In rapid marks the entry point for the Piney Creek Ravine run, featuring a narrow initial chute that funnels paddlers into the first significant drop. The entry requires precise boat positioning to avoid potential pin hazards on scattered mid-stream boulders, with a recommended line hugging the river right bank to maintain momentum through the initial constriction.
