Put-in - East Branch Dam

The Put-in at East Branch Dam on the Clarion River's East Branch in Jones Township, Elk County provides access to a whitewater paddling section. This is a popular entry point for kayakers and canoeists looking to run the East Branch, which offers varying degrees of whitewater depending on water levels and dam releases. The location near the dam structure means paddlers should be aware of water level fluctuations and current conditions that may be affected by dam operations.

Paddlers using this access point should check current water conditions and flow rates before launching, as dam-controlled releases can significantly impact the character of the river. The site serves as a convenient put-in for those looking to paddle downstream on the East Branch. Local knowledge and experience with whitewater conditions are recommended, as dam releases can create challenging water conditions.
