Description
The Put In rapid marks the entry point into the remote Nigu River within Gates of the Arctic National Park, featuring an initial navigational challenge with scattered mid-channel boulder fields and potential shallow braided sections. Limited beta exists for this wilderness river, so paddlers should expect minimal beta, potential wood hazards, and the need for precise route-finding through the initial drop.
