Put In is a whitewater access point on the Hanalei River located in Kauaʻi County, Hawaii. This site serves as an entry point for paddlers looking to navigate the river's whitewater sections. The Hanalei River is known for its scenic valley setting and can offer varying conditions depending on recent rainfall and seasonal water flow. Paddlers should be aware that whitewater rivers in Hawaii can have rapidly changing conditions, and water levels can fluctuate significantly.
