Allagash Wilderness Waterway

Trip Details
If you really want to experience how your dad or your grandfather might have experienced the North Maine Woods do the Allagash River. Not much has changed over the past 100 years. Maybe a few more or less access points. Fewer camps and cabins for sure. And probably more moose then people. But, the experience is one that creates memories that last a lifetime! Time spent on the Allagash is special.
Come experience what the Allagash means to you. The upper Allagash lakes offer quiet water paddling from one great site to the next. Chase rapids offer the thrill of class II white water that can be run by all. Campsites are well maintained and include picnic tables with ridgepole, fire ring and privy. On clear nights the sky is filled with brilliant stars. On special nights, we are blessed with the aurora borealis (northern Lights). Enjoy the loons, bald eagle, moose, and all the other wildlife along the waterway. Be sure to include a camera and binoculars!
We offer 6, 8, and 10 day trips on the Allagash. The 10 day trips start at Chamberlain Bridge for the full 98 mile journey. This includes the upper lakes of Chamberlain, Eagle, and Churchill. The 8 day trip put-in is Indian Stream on the east side of Eagle Lake. It covers approximately 80 miles of the waterway. The 6 day trip begins below Churchill Dam at the start of Chase Rapids a 9 mile
