Description

You will begin your week-long trip for one on the Allagash Wilderness Waterway at Chamberlain Lake or Indian Stream and paddle north nearly 100 miles to where the river meets the St. John. It is a trip of great variety, we travel lakes, rapids, and meandering quietwater, with few portages, only 200 yards at Allagash Falls and short lifts around two old dams. Challenging Chase Rapids teaches you to read whitewater and will test paddling skills you've practiced along the way. We explore sites of early logging activity like the Tramway, and hike to an expansive view of the Maine woods from the fire tower on Priestly or Round Pond Mountain. Campsites are primitive and beautiful, and we try to allow plenty of time for relaxing, swimming, and exploring, especially at magnificent Allagash Falls. Wildlife is abundant along the river, and sightings of moose are frequent in the summer months.


This trip is suitable for any level of ability, from novice to advanced
paddler, and is ideal for families and friends seeking quality outdoor time toget her, as well as solo travelers looking to meet new friends and share the beauty and peacefulness of the north woods.
