Description

Take Out is the terminus point for the upper Yuba River run, marking the end of a challenging whitewater section near Highway 20. Paddlers should be prepared for potential debris and variable water conditions that can change the rapid's character depending on flow levels and seasonal variations. While not a technically complex rapid, careful navigation is required to safely exit the river and avoid potential hazards near the takeout point.
