Here are the best photos from Bangor's Kenduskeag canoe race - Bangor Daily News

Even with water levels 10 times lower than in normal years, the 54th Kenduskeag Canoe Race was as photogenic as ever.

Six Mile Falls, where many paddlers take their soggy lumps, provided plenty of action. But instead of being at the mercy of a raging spring flood, boats got hung up on unseen rocks, usually far underwater. Much canoe and kayak paint was shed on submerged obstacles this year.

Spectators were asked to stay away for coronavirus social distancing concerns. The press — including us — was given access, though.

Here’s a collection of the best action photos from today’s race. You’re welcome.
