The Oregon State Marine Board has approved a $122,500 project to assess the extent of 2012 flood damage to the Hells Canyon Creek dock below Hells Canyon Dam. The U.S. Forest Service operates the dock and visitor center at the site about 95 miles northeast of Baker City. Flooding two years ago damaged the dock, a picnic shelter and part of the road and parking lot. The dock was removed and the damaged section of the road blocked. The Marine Board approved $61,250 in state boater funds, combined with $8,750 in applicant cash and $52,500 of in-kind contributions for a project total of $122,500.
