Description
Take Out is the terminal rapid marking the end of the Fordyce Creek run, situated in a challenging gorge with limited escape routes. Paddlers must carefully navigate a complex boulder field and potential debris, with the rapid's difficulty compounded by the remote alpine environment and potential for rapidly changing water levels. Safe passage requires precise boat positioning and careful route selection through the constricted channel.
