Description
Take Out is the terminal rapid at the end of this Buckhorn Creek run, marked by a tight constriction between rocky banks that compresses the river's flow. While specific difficulty is unrated, paddlers should be prepared for potential hidden obstacles and a sharp gradient change as the creek approaches its final descent before the dam road takeout. Scout carefully and be aware of potential strainers or debris that may have accumulated in this transitional zone.
