Take Out at the fishing pier

This takeout rapid marks the end of the Estes Park Dam to Fishing Pier section, providing a crucial exit point for paddlers. The fishing pier offers a straightforward, controlled egress with minimal technical challenges, allowing boaters to safely exit the river and retrieve their gear. Paddlers should be aware of potential boat traffic and fishing activity near the pier, and ensure a careful approach to avoid entanglement with fishing lines or other watercraft.
