Suddenly there is a stirring on the opposite side of the river and out run two yearlings (guessing it’s her twins from the previous year) to join mama and baby in the river.
We talk to the Ranger and learn that the river is pretty much the same downriver as it has been so far, shallow spots that require lining the canoes, but no places where we would have to actually carry them other then the 1/3 mile portage around Allagash falls which we are prepared for anyway.

 Thoreau's Dream - March/April 1999 - Sierra Magazine - Sierra Club
Until 1976 the public couldn't use rivers like the upper Kennebec because they were reserved for the paper industry as conduits to get logs to downriver mills, and it couldn't use the lower rivers either because effluent from the mills rendered the water a health hazard.
At Indian Pond, where the scouts and I hauled out, and again at West Forks, where the river falls and spreads from a brawling run, the logs used to be corralled by booms in huge rafts that covered nearly every surface acre for the 35 miles to Solon.
Protected would be the headwaters of six major rivers, including the Allagash, most of Moosehead Lake, hundreds of other lakes and ponds, and the hundred wildest miles of the Appalachian Trail.

 Maine Audubon: working to conserve Maine's wildlife and wildlife habitat by engaging people in education, conservation, ...
LD 2077 overrules the consensus-based 2003 River Drivers Agreement by changing three key provisions intended to resolve years of dispute about the proliferation of motor vehicle access points by making two of them less visible from the water and converting the third to a short (400 ft) trail.
LD 2077 would require the Department of Conservation to "submit all changes proposed to the 1999 Allagash Wilderness Waterway management plan" to the Legislature and would prohibit DOC from implementing any changes to the plan, except reconstruction of the crumbling Taylor Camps, unless and until the legislative committee approves the plan in 2007.
