Justly known for its spectacular white water, pristine lakes, old-growth forests, and rare plants, the Allagash is the longest and most scenic National Wilderness Waterway east of the Mississippi. The name Allagash alone, conjures up images of the wild, uninhabited north, and every year its international fame draws paddlers and fishermen to Maine's most remote region.
Here, environmental educator Dean Bennett explores the waterway by canoe and on foot. He journeys through the headwaters, the lakes, and the rapids. Including more than sixty color photographs, this a breathtaking look at Maine's wild and scenic river.
