Description

Take Out rapid marks the end of the run, featuring a complex exit with multiple potential lines through scattered rocks and a moderate gradient. Paddlers should be prepared to navigate carefully, watching for potential pinning hazards and selecting a clean route that avoids the more obstructed channel near the river's edges.
