Put In is a whitewater access point on Beaverdam Creek in Johnson County, Virginia, located in the upper reaches of this medium-sized river system. The creek originates as a headwater stream and flows through mountainous terrain with a significant average gradient of 13.5 feet per mile, making this section suitable for whitewater paddling. With an average flow of approximately 143 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 1.67 feet per second, Beaverdam Creek offers moderate current conditions typical of Appalachian streams. The substantial 432-foot total elevation drop over the creek's 31.94-mile length indicates varied water conditions along the run, with rapids and faster sections likely present depending on water level and the specific stretch being paddled.
