1947 Guided Allagash River Canoe Trip
- Thread starter Odyssey
- Start date
Some of the old dams and structuresare gone.. The Lock Dam house looks the same.. The campsites are different! Don't think I have ever seen a deer on the Allagash. Only moose
Doesnt the two man carry look easier than the four?
A neat view of the times gone by.

Thanks for finding that. Looks like a cold handled fry pan taking care of those trout! Yum, Yum!!
Until next time...be well.

Looks like all they ate was Trout.
That fish kill at the falls was obscene by today's standards.
One year there was a deer with a malformed set of antlers on Pillsbury Island that would come into the campsites to visit. The staff, (or maybe visitors), were feeding it I suspect. They gave it a name - can't remember right now - maybe Bozo or something like that. Cute little guy. I have seen only a few deer on the Allagash over the years - but you are correct, moose seem to be much more plentiful at least along the waterway.
Yea the house at Locke Dam looks just like it did a few years ago when I was last there.
The motors always bother me a bit. I guess it is one of the compromises they have to make make to keep everyone happy. It does take a bit of the "wildness" out of the trips in the area from my perspective.

They only made it up to Long Lake. Wouldn't that the house @ Long Lake Dam?
Looks an awful lot like Lock Dam House..I never saw a house at Long Lake Dam.. nor much of a dam either. Its possible that each dam had a similar house.
There has not been a house at long lake dam that I can recall since my first trip in 1980. The house looks exactly like the house on Chamberlain at lock dam. I have a feeling thought that there may well have been a house at long lake dam back then. Not sure. Some of that movie is pretty hard to see.

Annette Jackson in her book, "My Life in the Maine Woods" twice talks about having tea and ginger cookies with Ed Taylor, Dam tender @ Long Lake Dam, in his house.
