Description

Put In rapid marks the start of the Loon Creek whitewater run, typically offering a straightforward entry point with moderate current and scattered rock gardens. Paddlers should be prepared for potential shallow sections and navigate carefully to avoid pinning or broaching on mid-stream boulders, particularly at lower water levels.
