Description

Put In rapid marks the entry point for the Tracy City section, characterized by an initial technical boulder garden that quickly sets the tone for the creek's challenging nature. Paddlers should be prepared for tight maneuvering between large rocks and potential pin hazards, with careful boat positioning critical to successfully navigating the initial stretch. While not exceptionally steep, the rapid demands precise boat control and quick decision-making to avoid potential obstacles.
