Beautiful lakes, free-flowing whitewater, and bountiful wildlife make for an incredible 2-week experience on waterways that have been used for millennia by the Indigenous Wabanaki and are now protected as the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. Campers build a foundation of skills for canoeing in the backcountry and become proficient in outdoor living skills such as cooking over a fire, knots, wood processing, and more!
This adventure begins in the middle of the North Maine Woods on Allagash Lake and works its way north on the Allagash River through lakes, rapids, and trails that have been traveled for countless years. The group will paddle the length of the Allagash River to where it connects with the St John River near the Canadian Border. Highlights include paddling Chase Rapids, incredible campsites, exploring the old tramway, and sunsets on the many lakes of the waterway.
