The Allagash Wilderness Waterway is a scenic area, protecting the Allagash River (a National Wild and Scenic River), a tributary of the St. John River, approximately 92-mi (150 km) long, in Maine. In the 1850s Henry David Thoreau made two journeys by canoe along the river, which inspired him to write in The Maine Woods (1864). Besides the relatively unspoiled scenery, the Allagash Wilderness Waterway has many artifacts from a bygone lumber industry, in particular a pair of huge, rusting, but otherwise well-preserved, steam locomotives, stuck one hundred miles from the closest modern track.
