Description
The Takeout features a series of technical boulder gardens with multiple line choices, requiring precise boat placement and quick maneuvering to avoid potential pin spots and undercut rocks. Paddlers should be prepared for moderate gradient and consecutive Class III drops that demand good boat control, with the primary line typically running center to center-right and offering a clean route through the most challenging sections.
