Description
Take Out marks the end of the Chestnut Creek run, transitioning paddlers from the creek to the New River just before Byllesby Dam. While specifics are limited, the rapid likely requires careful navigation to avoid potential dam-related hazards and ensure a safe exit from the creek. Paddlers should be prepared for potential hydraulic features and scout the area thoroughly before attempting the transition.
