Put In is a whitewater access point on Clear Creek in Sevier County, Utah, located at an elevation of approximately 5,700 feet. Clear Creek is a substantial river system with a total length of 93.73 miles and a significant 3,193-foot elevation drop overall, making it a dynamic waterway for whitewater enthusiasts. The stream at this location is classified as a large river (Stream Order 7) with an average flow of 187.55 cubic feet per second and a notable average gradient of 34.1 feet per mile, indicating consistent whitewater conditions.
The creek's average velocity of 2.56 feet per second combined with its steep gradient creates an environment best suited for paddlers with whitewater experience. The drainage area of 1,015 square miles means the creek receives substantial water input from the surrounding terrain, and flows can vary seasonally based on snowmelt and precipitation patterns typical of Utah's high country. This put-in location provides access to a section of river that offers genuine whitewater paddling opportunities within a scenic mountain setting.
