Description
The Put In rapid marks the beginning of the Agate Falls section on Michigan's Middle Branch Ontonagon River, offering paddlers an initial navigation challenge with mixed boulder garden terrain. Careful line selection is critical to avoid potential pin points and scattered mid-stream rocks, with water levels significantly impacting route difficulty and maneuverability. Paddlers should scout this entry point carefully and assess current conditions before committing to the downstream run.
