Description
Put In is the starting point for the upper Elk Creek run, marking the transition from flat water to more technical whitewater. Limited beta exists on this section's specific characteristics, suggesting it may be a rarely run or minimally documented rapid. Paddlers should scout carefully and be prepared for potential wood, blind drops, or unmarked hazards given the remote nature of this stretch.
