Description

Put In rapid marks the starting point for the West Walker River run, featuring a straightforward entry with minimal technical challenges. Paddlers should be prepared for potential shallow sections and scattered rocks near the launch, which may require careful boat positioning and maneuvering. While not a particularly demanding rapid, attentive navigation is recommended to avoid potential pin or broaching hazards.
