About This Access Site
Put In is a whitewater put-in access point on the Eagle River in Eagle County, Colorado. The Eagle River is a significant mountain stream classified as a large river with a drainage area of 945 square miles. At this access point, boaters can expect moderately fast water with an average velocity of 3.03 feet per second and an average gradient of 52.2 feet per mile, indicating technical whitewater conditions typical of Colorado mountain rivers.

The Eagle River descends 3,155 feet over its 60-mile course from high alpine elevations near 9,300 feet down to approximately 5,100 feet at the confluence. Average flows of 642 cubic feet per second provide consistent water volume, though seasonal variations are typical for snowmelt-fed Colorado rivers. This put-in serves paddlers looking to access whitewater sections of the Eagle River system.
