Description

Put In is the starting point for the Cheat River Narrows section, characterized by its transition from flatwater to the initial whitewater features. The rapid offers a straightforward entry point with minimal technical challenges, serving primarily as a warm-up for the more demanding rapids downstream. Paddlers should be aware of potential shallow rocks and the need for precise boat positioning as they enter the river.
