Northeast Rivers on The Rapid River








We got an update from, of all things, a parent of one of our Northeast Rivers participants. Lionel Herring is a long time Chewonki alumni and staffer, his son Beni is on this years NER trip. Lionel also teaches whitewater kayaking in the summer and was instructing a group on the Rapid at the same time our group was there.

"The group is doing fantastically well. They've been going pretty hard. It seems as though the boys won't let up and just want to paddle, paddle, paddle. I think NH and VT will give them a more relaxed pace and a chance to rest tired muscles.

Lionel also mentioned how well they were all paddling and that they easily out paddled all the other groups on the river. He sent a few photos he was able snap as our group paddled the Staircases, and Smooth Ledge.
