Optional Meat Put In/Takeout

This is an optional put in/takeout, parking available at Willis Picnic Area (The Ball Field).

Immediately after S-Turn, there is a steep creek on River Right that connects with an unmarked trail leading back East towards the Ball Field. This can be used as a takeout when running only the 'meat' (all the named rapids from The Tunnel to the end of S-Turn).

A paddler can use this as a put in to skip the more difficult 'meat' section. If using this as a put in to run the Lower Section of Tinkers (after the Meat, after S-Turn), Park at the Willis Picnic Area (Ball Field) and hike into the woods to the West. There will be an unmarked trail that leads towards the creek with switch backs.
