The Magalloway is rich in history and lore. Roughly 10,000 years ago, Paleoindians camped along its banks below what is now Aziscohos Lake. Here they hunted herds of migrating caribou. Metallak, “The Lone Indian of the Magalloway,” hunted, trapped, fished, and guided the area. A pond and a mountain just over the border in New Hampshire were named after him. Parmachenee Lake was named after his daughter—said to be a beautiful young woman. President Eisenhower fished the river in 1955. A plaque on the bank commemorates his visit.
The Magalloway River is divided into three sections: upper, middle, and lower. The river is nearly 30 miles long, not including two lakes. Each section is different in regard to topography, size, flow, and the fishery itself.
