A weeklong canoe trip on the Allagash River has been a classic wilderness expedition since Thoreau did it in 1846, 1853, and 1857 for his book The Maine Woods. A roughly 100-mile stretch in the state’s northern tip is still untamed and now protected. It starts at Chamberlain Lake, meanders through thick pine forests skirting desolate ponds, rushes down a 9-mile stretch of Class II rapids, and emerges at Allagash Village. Why: The rhythm of the river and the sounds of the forest will reboot your priorities.
