Description

Take Out is the terminal rapid of this section, marked by a complex confluence of currents where the river's gradient increases and multiple channels converge. Paddlers should be prepared for potential shifting hydraulics and scattered boulder fields that can create unpredictable water movement, with careful route selection critical to navigating the rapid safely.
