“I loved this book! I picked it up on a whim at REI when I was picking up some new paddling gear. I figured it would at least help me find a few new places to paddle. I was pleasantly surprised at the sheer amount of streams, creeks, and rivers the author included. The maps were VERY well done, with clearly labeled roads and access points. The reviews were both informative AND humorous, I was literally laughing out loud while I read. Along with the reviews, the author separates longer rivers into suggested routes, and labels all routes with milage, time, and difficulty ratings. This will probably become my ultimate kayaking handbook. I have his PA guidebook to read, and am looking for a copy of his MD/DE book.” – Meredith M.
