Column: I enjoy the thrills and spills of spring whitewater paddling with my friends

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • May 2, 2022

For more than four decades, I’ve looked forward to spring whitewater paddling. For me, the exciting rapids announce the most dramatic seasonal change of all. Each year beginning in March, my outdoor club, the Penobscot Paddle and Chowder Society, provides the opportunity and impetus to realize that aspiration with a comprehensive schedule of whitewater trips.Only a couple of weeks into spring and Chowderheads have already experienced a multitude of whitewater adventures. There’s much more to come! ~ Ron Chase
