Description
Take Out is a low-head dam spillway transition with potential for hydraulic recirculation and unpredictable currents. Paddlers should exercise extreme caution when approaching, as the dam's structure creates a dangerous backwash that can trap boats and swimmers. Recommended scouting and portage are critical due to the potential for entrapment and limited escape routes.
