BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 15, 2022

Kellie Jandreau, 30, nearly lost her life Sunday afternoon when she and a couple of companions struck a fallen tree while floating on inner tubes on the Fish River and were pinned beneath it by rapid water currents. As a result, Fort Kent Town Manager Suzie Paradis is working with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife to have the tree removed from the river. The Fish River is highly traveled by water enthusiasts on non-motorized watercraft.
