The Maine Conservation Department says the Allagash Wilderness Waterway is providing winter campgrounds at Chamberlain Bridge and Kellogg Brook.
Registration for the campgrounds will take place starting at 8a.m., Saturday, at the Chamberlain Bridge ranger station. The 48 campsites will be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Allagash waterway Superintendent Matthew LaRoche anticipates renting out most of the 48 available campsites by noon on the first day of registration. To be sure of getting a site, he suggests that campers arrive at Chamberlain Bridge before 8 a.m. on Dec. 10.
The Allagash is a 92-mile-long ribbon of lakes, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams that winds through northern Maine's forests. (The Associated Press).
