Description

Take Out rapid serves as the exit point from this section of the Merced, marking the end of the run with potential shallow water and scattered rock obstacles. Paddlers should be prepared for a transition zone that may require careful maneuvering, particularly at lower water levels, and be aware of potential boat extraction points along the shoreline.
