Description
Put In rapid marks the starting point for this section of Spearfish Creek, characterized by a moderate gradient and initial technical maneuvers through a tight channel with scattered rock obstacles. Paddlers should be prepared for potential shallow sections and quick route selection near the launch, with careful navigation required to avoid potential pinning points or unexpected hydraulics.
