Description

The Highway 96 Bridge Put-In offers straightforward river access with minimal immediate rapids, serving as a key entry point for paddlers starting the Tar River section between Route 96 and Route 1203. While the put-in itself appears relatively calm, paddlers should carefully assess river conditions and potential hazards during launch, paying attention to water level, flow rate, and potential debris near the bridge structure.
