A stretch of this length does require some preparations, so better bring your camping gear along. The Chamberlain Lake to Allagash stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. The nature scenery of Maine and the
    playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance
then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good places for that around here. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so keep in mind that many
