Allagash River Epic Adventure
Grab your paddle (or ours) and join a truly epic adventure as we depart for a week-long canoe trip in the Maine North Woods.
Our 2024 Epic Canoe Adventure will take place on the Allagash River in Northern Maine, a waterway known for its scenic beauty and ample wildlife.
You and your team of fellow guardians will spend 7 days traveling 82 miles from Indian Brook to Allagash Village. On the way, you’ll encounter large lakes, waterfalls, class II rapids, and if we are lucky, some of the moose that call this waterway home.
