Accessibility vs Wilderness Preservation: Maine's Allagash Wilderness Waterway

The crown jewel of Maine's North Woods and a scenic refuge without rival, the Allagash Wilderness Waterway is a protected 92-mile-long river, stream, lake, and pond corridor. Some seek to preserve the natural character of the area, while others want to open a new area for recreational use which involves the Americans with Disabilities Act and accessibility issues. Joe Huber reviews this struggle and the impact these deliberations and decisions will have on the future of this area.
