Description

Take Out rapid marks the end of the Twisting Falls Gorge section, featuring a complex confluence of currents and potential pin hazards near the river's exit point. Paddlers should be alert to shifting hydraulics and potential debris, with a recommended line that avoids the river right rock formations and utilizes the main channel's flow to navigate safely to the takeout bridge.
