Put In is a whitewater access point located on the Platte Kill in Delaware County, New York. The Platte Kill is a popular whitewater paddling destination in the Catskill region, offering moderate to challenging river conditions depending on water levels and season. This put-in serves as a launch point for kayakers and canoeists looking to run sections of the Platte Kill, which features a mix of rapids, pools, and scenic valley views.
The access site provides direct entry to the river for paddlers of varying skill levels, though whitewater experience is typically recommended given the nature of the waterway. Water conditions on the Platte Kill are generally best during spring snowmelt and after significant rainfall, when flows are adequate for paddling. Summer water levels can be quite low, potentially making the run challenging or unnavigable depending on specific flow rates.
