Description

Put In rapid marks the starting point for this narrow headwaters section, characterized by tight technical maneuvering between closely spaced boulders and minimal margin for error. Early season flows can create unpredictable water levels and sudden hydraulics, requiring precise boat positioning and strong route-finding skills through the initial constricted channel.
