  • The Experience of Visiting the Allagash Wilderness Waterway Is Largely Defined
    The experience of visiting the Allagash Wilderness Waterway is largely defined by the forests, wildlife, and unusual features encountered along the way: bald eagles nesting in towering eastern white pines; moose and deer feeding along the edges of the watercourse; ospreys soaring overhead; loons filling the evening air with their haunting cries; views of nearby mountains and of Katahdin from the larger lakes; or the ice cave on Allagash Lake. 1B There are eight lakes and four ponds along the Allagash watercourse; well over 100 tributary brooks and streams flow into them and into the Allagash River. Telos, Chamberlain, and Eagle Lakes provide extensive storage capacity that helps maintain suitable canoeing water levels on the river north of Churchill Dam. Due to Telos and Lock Dams, a portion of the waters of Allagash, Chamberlain, and Telos Lakes flow south into the East Branch Penobscot River drainage. Prior to the creation of these dams in the mid-1800s, these headwaters flowed completely northward into the Allagash River. Today, waters from Allagash, Chamberlain, and Telos Lakes flow both northward into the Allagash River and southward into the East Branch of the Penobscot River. Allagash Lake is the most remote lake in the Waterway. Its waters are cold and well oxygenated, favoring cold-water fish species such as brook trout, lake trout, and whitefish. The north shore is shallow and sandy, inviting emergent aquatic plants as well as wading moose, deer, and great blue herons. Along the west shore are ledges of rough, colorful volcanic rock. To the east near the outlet is an unusual shoreline edged by low glaciated ledges of Seboomook Slate.

Fork in the Road 138 Teacher’s Guide REFERENCES Author’s Note In the year 1900, Minnesota was a colorful region bustling with activity. The Downtown Gateway district of Minneapolis was a street fair of small business commerce and a crossroads for pinewoods and prairie travelers and city slickers. The natural resources of the region were being developed yielding riches for investors and giving jobs to workers. Demand for labor attracted countless European immigrants and others of all backgrounds seeking a better life. Sometimes they found it, but issues of economic justice persisted. Moving around the upper Midwest with the change of seasons these hard working folks were the engines that cut trees, harvested wheat and dug mines. However, with this development came the displacement of indigenous Ojibway and Dakota people. This history is the legacy of the present state of Minnesota. The environment of the region changed dramatically. North woods lumberjacks witnessed the end of old growth pinewoods. Visit some of the restored warehouses in downtown Minneapolis and St.
