Nov 9th: Penobscot River Paddling Trail
Join us for our next virtual event on Tuesday, November 9th from 5-8 pm as we highlight and celebrate the Penobscot River Paddling Trail. This event will be an online social gathering like the ones we’ve been doing recently. Attendees are encouraged to safely gather with friends.
The Penobscot River Paddling Trail was initiated to provide campsites for paddlers traveling on the river’s main stem from Medway to Bucksport. Over a distance of 100 miles, the Penobscot offers a combination of flatwater and whitewater, and plenty of access points for day use to long distance trips. Paddlers have options of self-guiding, guides for hire, and Wabanaki cultural experiences. When completed, the campsites will provide a link between the East Branch of the Penobscot and the Maine Island Trail, both of which have established paddling trails. For more information: https://www.penobscotriverpaddlingtrail.org.
If feasible, we’d ask you to consider donating your usual $5 or more, and all of the money that we raise on October 12th and for a few weeks after will be passed on for creation and maintenance of the Penobscot River Paddling Trail.
We’re also selling hard copies of our Bangor Area Trails map for $5, with all proceeds going to the same organization; to purchase the map, see our PayPal site: https://www.paypal.com/instantc…/checkout/2QABGAWQVGS26….
We also love it when you let us know that you’re attending the event! Be sure to post messages, photos, and short videos on the event wall to let us know that you’re attending. Group shots are encouraged (again, safely).
Finally, be sure to watch when the Bangor Greendrinks Chair, Mark, goes live for “the talk” around 6:30 pm on November 9th. This is the “Facebook Live” portion of the evening.
See you at the next virtual event when we celebrate the Penobscot River Paddling Trail!
Cheers!
The Bangor Greendrinks Familia
