Description
Put In is the initial entry point for the Slab Creek Dam to Rock Creek Powerhouse run, typically characterized by its transition from a controlled dam release to the river proper. Paddlers should be prepared for potential flow variability and potential hydraulic complexities near the dam discharge area, with careful attention to entry line and initial river dynamics.
