Description

Put In rapid on Covel Creek is an unmarked and potentially hazardous section with blind drops and scattered boulder gardens that require precise boat positioning. Paddlers should scout thoroughly and be prepared for unexpected obstacles, as the lack of definitive rapid classification suggests variable water conditions that could change rapidly with precipitation.
