Description

Take Out rapid marks the conclusion of the Roaring Creek run, characterized by a tight, technical exit where paddlers must navigate a narrow channel with potential for pinning or broaching on mid-stream rocks. The rapid requires careful boat positioning and precise maneuvering to avoid hazards, with limited margin for error as boaters transition from the creek to the Cheat River confluence.
