We did not note anything wrong with the dam structure itself, but the boom with its distinctive red floats was broken, and caught in the chutes.
I walked/waded the portage to Bisk, and there were three spots you'd get wet...one at crotch level, all with moving water. The launch point into Bisk looked sketchy. Parks had said not to travel that way.
