Description
Take Out is the final rapid before entering Green Peter Reservoir, marking the end of the Middle Santiam's most challenging section. The rapid features a broad, somewhat uneven gradient with potential for shifting hydraulics depending on water levels, requiring careful boat positioning and momentum to navigate cleanly. Paddlers should be prepared for potential debris and reduced visibility as the river transitions into the reservoir environment.
