A remote paddle-only wilderness lake inside the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.
At a glance
Overview
Allagash Lake is a remote paddle-in lake inside the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, reached by carry from neighboring water bodies (no motors are allowed on the lake itself). The water is cold and deep, with cobble-and-gravel shorelines rather than sand beaches. It is a wilderness trip destination; casual day swims are not really a thing here.
