Starting in the Allagash Wilderness Waterway at the Chamberlain Thoroughfare or Telos Landing, we sneak out the ‘back door’ of the Allagash via the Telos Cut. This is the route that Henry David Thoreau traveled more than 150 years ago on his way to Bangor.
Below Telos Lake, we paddle the mile-long Telos Cut to Webster Lake. It is 3 miles across Webster Lake and 6.5 miles to Indian Carry, a rapid that can be run or lined. The next 2 miles to Grand Pitch has several ledge drops that can be paddled or carried. Grand Pitch is a mandatory 1/2 mile carry.
Shortly after is Grand Lake Matagamon. It is 8.25 miles down lake to the Dam, or take out at a landing near the north entrance to Baxter State Park.
