Description

Take Out rapid marks the end of the Quartz Creek run, characterized by a broad boulder garden with multiple potential routes that require precise maneuvering between scattered mid-stream rocks. Paddlers should be prepared for potential pin hazards and shifting channels, particularly at lower water levels, and carefully scout or portage if unsure of the line.
