Description

Take Out rapid marks the end of the South Fork American River run, requiring careful navigation through a series of exposed boulders and potential shifting channels. Paddlers should be prepared for potential route changes and scout the rapid carefully, as the takeout location itself can present obstacles depending on water levels and seasonal conditions.
