Take out

Our standard take-out is river-left at a storm-sewer outflow. DO NOT MISS THIS TAKE-OUT! Currents in this area should generally be slack enough to allow getting out, but you are likely to see and hear 'Hart Park Rips' just ahead around the bend.

At flows under 300-400 cfs, novice paddlers will probably be fine if they continue downstream to do some part or all of the MenTosa section (at least, as long as they read and heed warnings about a couple of very specific hazards).

However, at levels of 600 to 1000 cfs and higher, the next section takes on quite entirely different character. Above 600 cfs, all boaters of the next section should have proper whitewater gear and experience! They should also have knowledge and skills in self rescue, and (ideally) should have taken a Swiftwater Rescue Training class.
