Description

Put In rapid marks the entry point for this section of the Cherry River, offering paddlers an immediate introduction to the river's character with a straightforward initial descent. While specific details about the rapid's features are limited, boaters should be prepared for potential obstacles and variations in water flow typical of West Virginia mountain streams. Careful scouting and situational awareness are recommended as paddlers begin their descent from the Richwood Inn access point.
