Allagash River

Beautiful country. There is nothing quite like unplugging from technology and society for a little and spending time in nearly pristine nature. The waterway is managed by a few rangers and populated with many campsites. Each site having at least one cell with table, fire ring w/ grate and an elevated pole running the length of the table and over the fire pit, allowing for a tarp to be tented over table and fire in inclement weather. Many of the camp sites have multiple cells. On our trip we saw multiple moose, several loons, two otters, a mature bald eagle and an adolescent bald eagle.

We went here on out honeymoon and could not have had a better time! The foliage was in full colors, and the weather was excellent, with a high temperature of 79°F the last day we were there. The lakes, rivers, and brooks were quite low due to the lack of rain here in Maine this year, but we saw deer, moose, eagles, grouse, and many other birds. It's an excellent place to camp, fish, hunt, paddle the waterway or other lakes and ponds. If you're interested in a real wilderness experience than this just may be the place for you!

We have done the river 9 ties...fantastic...especially after a rain storm when the water is up and fast!!
