New Significant Hazard on Hagen Gorge

The man-made log dam on Hagen Gorge has changed. It seems the bottom of the dam blew out. There is no longer a pool from which you can start the portage. The river now drains into a very large mess of strainers and there aren’t any sizable eddies directly upstream. Proceed carefully and hop out earlier than you might have done before.

The green boat is just above the last chance eddy. Its small and not fun to catch.

The portage is trickier as well but still doable.
