Description

Put-in rapid marks the start of the Patterson Creek run, offering paddlers an immediate entry into the creek's technical character with a tight, boulder-strewn initial descent. The rapid requires precise maneuvering between partially submerged rocks and potential small ledge drops, demanding immediate attention and clean boat control from the first stroke.
