Description

Put In rapid offers a straightforward entry point to this section of Kirby Creek, with minimal technical challenges but requiring careful navigation through scattered mid-stream boulders. Paddlers should be alert for potential undercut rocks near the river's right bank and maintain a clean line through the initial drop to avoid potential pin hazards.
