About This Access Site
Putin is a whitewater put-in access point located on the Pigeon River, specifically the West Fork section, in Haywood County, North Carolina. This site serves as a launch point for paddlers looking to run whitewater sections of the Pigeon River system. The access provides river entry for kayakers and canoeists interested in exploring the whitewater features of the West Fork. As with many whitewater put-ins in this region, paddlers should be prepared for moving water conditions typical of Appalachian river systems.
