About This Access Site
Put In on Beaver Creek in Beaver Falls Township provides access to a large river system with significant gradient and flow characteristics. This is a Stream Order 7 waterway, indicating a mature river system with substantial volume. The creek features an average gradient of 18.8 feet per mile with an elevation drop of 2,246 feet across its 119-mile length, making it suitable for whitewater activities. With an average flow of 59.35 cubic feet per second and velocity of 2.18 feet per second, paddlers should expect moderate current and moving water conditions.

The location sits in Renville County in southwestern Minnesota, positioned well upstream from the river's mouth. Boaters using this put-in should be prepared for whitewater paddling given the site classification and the creek's hydrological characteristics. The significant elevation change and stream gradient indicate potential rapids and obstacles typical of whitewater rivers. Access to this site would typically serve kayakers and canoeists experienced with moving water rather than recreational flatwater paddling.
