Allagash Trip 8 days

The Allagash Wilderness Waterway offers one of the best opportunities in the country for an extended canoeing and camping experience. It will give you all kinds of scenery, history, and chances to see wildlife, as well as a chance to do some spectacular fishing in the early or late season. We put in at Indian Stream and line out to Eagle Lake, then camp at one of many campsites on Eagle Lake. We’ll stop and see the tramway and old locomotives hidden in the woods after being left when they were through with them. The following 6 days will be spent paddling on some of the most beautiful remote areas in Maine on lakes and the Allagash River, and stopping at other scenic and historic sites along the way. There are lots of wildlife for viewing, and it is rare to go a day without having seen at least one moose. Often, they will be too busy eating and drinking to be bothered by our presence. Other wildlife includes deer, osprey, bald eagles, duck and geese families, loon, and even, although very rare, a bear sighting. There is white water, up to class 2, and lots of class 1. All the paddling on this trip can be done by anyone, whether experienced or not without difficulty.

When in camp, you will be free to go fishing, just sit by the fire, take a nap in your tent, or even go out and paddle some more, and maybe see more moose, deer, or birds that may be out on the edges of the lakes and river while the meal is being prepared. Some people even make friends with some of the semi-tame camp bunnies which are at quite a few of the campsites along the way. Many of these camp sites have been used for centuries by traders, trappers, and Indians.

Meals are generous and nutritious and include a hearty meal at camp for dinner and breakfast. We also provide lunch during a mid-day rest stop and snacks along the way.

All you need to bring with you is personal gear, sleeping bag and a sleeping pad. We have a list of what clothing you should have. We provide everything else after you arrive in Millinocket Maine. All food, tents, and gear are provided beyond your personal belongings. You are welcome to bring along personal snacks as well
