Description

Take Out rapid marks the terminus of this upper river section, characterized by a tight technical passage between large boulders that requires precise boat positioning and careful momentum management. Paddlers must navigate a constricted channel with potential for pin hazards and limited recovery space, making a clean line critical for safe passage through the final descent.
