The Allagash Wilderness Waterway is Maine’s best-known canoe trip and has attracted paddlers for more than a century. Henry David Thoreau ventured into this region more than 150 years ago by traveling into the Allagash via the Mud Pond Carry from the West Penobscot watershed. Adventurers will be on one of the few eastern rivers that can be paddled for a week without coming into contact with modern civilization. The Allagash is Maine’s only designated Wild and Scenic River endowed with easy flowing river sections and moderate whitewater on Chase Stream Rapids.
