Description
Put In rapid marks the entry point for the Cherry River run, serving as an immediate test for boaters with its initial technical challenges. The rapid features a mixed boulder garden with multiple potential lines, requiring precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering to navigate the scattered rocks and potential hydraulics. While not considered exceptionally difficult, paddlers should scout carefully and be prepared for tight turns and potential pin hazards in the opening section of the river.
