About This Access Site
Put In is a whitewater access point on the Big Rib River located in the Town of Goodrich within Taylor County, Wisconsin. This site serves as an entry point for paddlers looking to navigate the Big Rib, a river known for whitewater characteristics that appeal to kayakers and canoeists seeking moving water paddling. The access point's designation as a whitewater put-in indicates it is designed specifically for launching into river current rather than calm water paddling.

Paddlers using this access should be prepared for whitewater conditions typical of Wisconsin river systems. The Big Rib offers opportunities for intermediate to advanced paddlers who are comfortable reading water and navigating current. This location provides convenient access to the river system in a rural area of north-central Wisconsin, making it a worthwhile stop for those exploring the region's waterways.
