Description

Put In rapid serves as the entry point for the Buzzard Creek run, with a relatively straightforward approach that allows paddlers to assess river conditions and warm up before more challenging sections downstream. The rapid features minimal technical complexity but requires attentive navigation around potential shallow rock gardens and initial flow variations that can impact boat positioning.
