If you have a group of 8 to 11 people interested, we can set up a trip to the Allagash just for you! Typical cost for a 7-day trip is about $1895 per person, which includes everything except transportation to and from Bangor, Maine.

| Sample Itinerary |
DAY 1: Your trip starts in the afternoon at Umsaskis Lake. Practice paddling and camp on the lake shore that evening.
DAY 2: Continue out of Umsaskis Lake, into adjoining Long Lake. Enjoy the view of the Gray Brook Mountains to the west and paddle on to Long Lake Dam where, after a short portage, you'll set up camp for the evening.
DAY 3: Pick up the pace today and head into the Allagash River. Look for wildlife in the surrounding forests as the river takes you to Round Pond. Cross the pond and set up camp on the northern shores.
DAY 4: Today is a layover day. You'll have the opportunity to explore more of Round Lake and the surrounding area. If you're feeling adventurous, you may choose to make the 5-mile round-trip hike to Round Pond Tower and experience the Allagash from far above.
DAY 5: Start the day with an exhilarating paddle through a stretch of rapids called Round Pond Rips. You'll also paddle through Musquacook Deadwater, one of the more scenic stretches of this river. Camp that night at Five Finger Brooks.
DAY 6: Continue up the Allagash to Allagash Falls. After portaging around the falls, you can take time to enjoy their beauty and explore the surrounding area. Perhaps a display of northern lights will grace your last night in the woods.
DAY 7: Get up early and paddle the last few miles to your take-out where you'll pack up for the ride back to Bangor. The trip officially ends in the early afternoon. Return to Bangor that evening. |
