Take Out

This is a take-out point on the Big Thompson River in Larimer County, Colorado, designed for whitewater paddlers to exit the water after running sections of river upstream. The Big Thompson is known for its whitewater characteristics, particularly during spring runoff and after heavy rains when water levels rise significantly. Take-out access points are essential for planning whitewater trips as they determine where your paddle ends and where you'll need to arrange transportation back to your starting point.

As a dedicated take-out location, this site serves paddlers completing whitewater runs on the Big Thompson. The river in this area typically features moderate to strong current depending on water conditions and seasonal flow. Paddlers should have appropriate skills for reading whitewater and maneuvering in moving water before attempting sections that end at this take-out. Coordination with shuttle services or drop-off arrangements is important since this is specifically a take-out point rather than a launch location.
