Description

The Put In rapid marks the start of the North Yuba run, offering paddlers an immediate entry into the river's character with a technical approach through scattered mid-stream boulders. While not extremely challenging, careful line selection is critical to avoid potential pin spots and maintain momentum through the initial boulder garden.
