Description

Put In rapid at the start of Sheep Creek offers a straightforward entry point into the river, with minimal technical challenges but requiring careful initial navigation. Paddlers should be aware of potential shallow areas and scattered rocks near the launch point, which can require precise maneuvering depending on water levels. The rapid serves as an initial assessment of river conditions and boat handling for the downstream run.
