Description
Take Out marks the end of a challenging stretch on the Merced, characterized by a narrow constriction that funnels water through a technical section with potential for undercut rocks and shifting hydraulics. Paddlers should scout carefully and be prepared for quick maneuvering, as the rapid's exit can be obstructed by debris and requires precise boat positioning to avoid potential hazards.
