Jack Henderson and I put in upstream of 209 just a bit on Golf Course Rd for a 10 mile paddle into the HEPCO section. The section down to Iron Duff Rd was actually a nice class II run with one little ledge drop right off the bat. Surfing was excellent in the main Hepco Section. Obviously water quality in this section is pretty rough.
