Take Out

This take-out site on Crabtree Creek provides access to a significant whitewater section of a large river system in Linn County, Oregon. Crabtree Creek drains a 876 square mile watershed and features an average gradient of 83.8 feet per mile, indicating substantial whitewater character suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers. The creek's average flow of 546.71 cubic feet per second and velocity of 2 feet per second suggest moderately fast moving water typical of whitewater runs in the Willamette Valley region.

As a take-out location, this site serves as the endpoint for whitewater runs upstream on Crabtree Creek. The 39.45 mile length of the creek and its significant elevation drop of over 3,300 feet provide potential for extended whitewater trips. Paddlers should be aware that conditions vary seasonally with water levels and flow rates, and the creek's status as a Stream Order 6 river indicates a well-established channel with established rapids and features.

Paddlers planning to use this take-out should be prepared for fast-moving water and exercise appropriate skill and caution. The site's location in Linn County places it in an area with potential access to multiple whitewater sections, though specific amenities and parking details at this particular take-out location are not documented in available data.
