About This Access Site
Upper Take-out is a whitewater access point on the Fall River located in Fremont County, Idaho. This site serves as a takeout location for paddlers navigating the Fall River, which is a significant stream classified as a large river with a drainage area of 2,046 square miles. The river in this area has an average flow of 612 cubic feet per second with an average velocity of 2.37 feet per second, indicating moderate current conditions typical of whitewater sections.

The Fall River at this location is part of a 90.86-mile long waterway with a total elevation drop of 305 feet. The average gradient of 3.4 feet per mile, combined with the stream's large river classification, suggests that paddlers using this takeout should have intermediate to advanced whitewater skills. The coordinates place this access point in a remote mountain valley setting characteristic of Fremont County's rugged terrain.

Boaters utilizing this takeout should be prepared for moving water conditions and should check current flow levels before paddling, as spring runoff and seasonal variations can significantly affect water conditions on the Fall River. The remote location means limited services are likely available at the site itself.
