Dan Bowler has been an admirer of the Farmington River for decades, seeing its power firsthand in the flood of 1955. From nationally racing whitewater slalom to canoeing and kayaking different rivers all across the country, Dan still feels the call of the Farmington River.
The Farmington River Stewards
The Farmington River Stewards work toward preserving and protecting the river through education, recreation, and outreach events. With special challenges this summer, they found innovative ways to continue to engage the community in safe and fun ways of experiencing the Farmington.
