As you fall asleep to the cry of a loon or are awakened by the splashing of a feeding moose, please take a moment to appreciate the experience of the Allagash. The Allagash offers not only adventure but also peace of mind. The waterway has given itself to us and we must return the gift, not only to the river but to others who come to be comforted by it. Our presence should be unfelt. Words should be spoken in soft tones so as not to bother others. Campsites should be left with limited sign of our activity. Remember the wildlife, trees, and other living things are at home and should be respected and undisturbed. The continuance of its natural character is a gift we can return to the Allagash. |
