Put In is a whitewater access point on Cherry Creek in Tuolumne County, California. This location serves as an entry point for paddlers looking to run the whitewater sections of Cherry Creek. The site is situated at coordinates 38.09899900, -119.78399700 in the Sierra Nevada region, which is known for its scenic and challenging whitewater runs, particularly during spring snowmelt season.
Cherry Creek whitewater runs vary in difficulty depending on water flow and the specific section being paddled. Paddlers should be aware of current conditions and water levels before launching, as whitewater conditions can change significantly with seasonal runoff. The creek typically features rocky terrain and gradient consistent with Sierra Nevada drainage patterns. Access to this put-in may require some scouting to understand the specific launch conditions and immediate downstream features.
