Description

Put In rapid marks the entry point for this challenging river section, characterized by an uneven boulder-strewn riverbed that requires precise navigation and technical maneuvering. Paddlers should be prepared for tight passages between large rocks and potential shifting water levels that can dramatically alter the rapid's character, making careful scouting essential before attempting a run.
