This take-out site on Crabtree Creek in Linn County serves as an exit point for whitewater paddlers completing runs on this substantial stream. Crabtree Creek is a large river system with significant gradient, dropping over 3,300 feet across its 39-mile length, which translates to an average slope of 83.8 feet per mile. The creek drains 876 square miles and carries an average flow of 546.71 cubic feet per second, making it a dynamic waterway suitable for experienced paddlers seeking challenging whitewater.

The take-out location at coordinates 44.67559800, -122.95780200 provides access to the lower sections of Crabtree Creek. Given the stream's substantial gradient and flow characteristics, this is primarily a destination for intermediate to advanced whitewater paddlers rather than casual recreational users. The high average velocity of 2.00 feet per second and steep gradient indicate fast-moving water with significant hazards typical of whitewater systems.

Paddlers should be prepared for swift currents and varying water conditions depending on seasonal flows and recent precipitation in the Linn County area. Access to this take-out would be most valuable for those running multi-mile whitewater sections, allowing for shuttle-based trips down this challenging Oregon creek system.
