Description

The Put In rapid marks the entry point for the Crawford Notch run, featuring a straightforward put-in with minimal technical challenges. Paddlers should be aware of potential shuttle logistics and initial river conditions, which can vary significantly with water levels. While not a complex rapid itself, the location serves as the starting point for a scenic whitewater descent through New Hampshire's mountainous terrain.
