Kermit's Put-in (also called Kermit's Access) is a shoulder parking area located at the US-6 and I-70 junction near Two Bears Tap and Grill, serving as the primary launch point for the Upper Clear Creek (Kermits) section—a challenging Class IV run featuring continuous whitewater including notable rapids like Double Knife and Hell's Half Mile.

The put-in offers direct river access but requires a shuttle of approximately 5. 2 miles to take-out points downstream, with water typically runnable from spring snowmelt at flows between 200-1,500 cfs.
