CANOE TRIP WITH MY DOG | St. John River, North Maine Woods

Solo canoe camping trip with my dog.
Lesser known than the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, although it lies directly to the west and runs parallel, the St. John River is the largest free flowing river system east of the Mississippi. Gracie and I canoed the upper St. John River, Northwestern Aroostook Maine. 143 miles from 5th St. John Pond Dam to Allagash Village. The trip took 7 days. The only person we saw during that time was a guy who went by "9 Mile Mike" who lives in a cabin at 9 mile bridge. He claimed there are still 2-2 1/2 pound brook trout that can be caught in the river as well as 40"+ muskies. The beginning stretch of 26 miles had low water we had to push/pull the canoe through and log jams we had to haul over or cut through. We saw moose, deer, eagles, a bear in a tree, fished for muskies and found a moose antler in the river. The footage ends about half way into the trip because all of my camera batteries died so I didn't get to show the sections of class III rapids and completion of the trip. It was a great trip and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a canoeing adventure. #themainewoods #maine #allagash
