Take Out

Marys Creek Take Out is a whitewater access point located in Owyhee County, Idaho, serving as an exit point for paddlers running this scenic desert creek. This is a medium-sized river system with a significant gradient of 65.9 feet per mile, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers seeking moving water. With an average flow of about 20 cubic feet per second and average velocity of 1.7 feet per second, conditions vary seasonally with higher flows in spring runoff periods typical of Idaho snowmelt systems.

The creek drops approximately 2,858 feet over its 43.38-mile length, creating dynamic whitewater conditions throughout much of the run. Paddlers should be prepared for swift currents and be aware that this is a remote area in the high desert. The take-out location provides critical access for completing downriver runs, though specific amenities at this particular site are not documented in available records.

As with most remote whitewater creeks in the Owyhee region, paddlers should plan accordingly for limited services and should check current water conditions before attempting any runs. Spring is typically the best season for adequate water levels, though flows can vary considerably year to year depending on snowpack and precipitation.
