Description
Take Out rapid at the end of the Beldens Falls section serves as a critical transition point before Bleeders Dam, requiring precise maneuvering to safely exit the river. Paddlers must be alert to potential hydraulic features and navigate carefully to avoid potential hazards near the dam. No specific line is well-defined, making situational awareness and boat control essential for a safe passage.
