Put In

Put In is a whitewater access point on the North Fork of the Crystal River located in Gunnison County, Colorado. This site serves as a put-in location for paddlers launching into whitewater sections of the North Fork drainage. The area provides access to river sections that range from moderate to challenging whitewater depending on water levels and seasonal conditions. Paddlers should be prepared for cold water temperatures typical of high-elevation Colorado rivers and should assess current water conditions before launching.
