About This Access Site
Put In is a whitewater access point located on McCarthy Creek in Alaska's Unorganized Borough. This site serves as a launch point for paddlers looking to access the creek's whitewater sections. The remote location in interior Alaska means visitors should be well-prepared and self-sufficient, as services and support facilities are minimal to non-existent in the immediate area. Given the whitewater designation, this site is primarily suitable for paddlers with experience managing moving water and technical obstacles.
