Description

Put In is the initial access point for this river section, characterized by a relatively calm entry that quickly transitions into more technical water. Paddlers should be prepared for potential debris or uneven shoreline conditions typical of dam-controlled river starts, and carefully scout the initial entry to identify the cleanest and safest line through the initial water.
