Description
Put In rapid marks the starting point for the lower San Lorenzo River run, offering paddlers an immediate entry into the river's character with a mix of small boulder gardens and potential wood hazards. Navigating this initial rapid requires careful boat positioning and awareness of submerged rocks and potential debris, especially during lower water levels when channel constriction can create unexpected hydraulics.
