My husband and I just started kayaking and this is the greatest book for finding places to go. The pictures are excellent and there are descriptions of the different rivers as well as maps of where to put in and things to look for. I think that if you canoe or kayak in Florida, this book is a MUST HAVE!!!! In fact, we have several rivers mapped out to go on as soon as we can!!
This is a wonderfully photographed and produced book, and every time I pick it up off of the coffee table (where it proudly lives) for a quick perusal, I just want to get up and go kayaking. It's also the perfect book to share with someone who's never gone before, as both the photography and writing tend to win people over easily.No, it's not an encyclopedia, and yes, you can get the same type of written information from the Florida State Parks service, but you'll not end up with an attractive, inspiring tome if you do.I rated it as a four since some of the maps are just a little lacking in detail.
Winston Williams has created yet another fabulous book about Florida. This kayak and canoe guide is not only informative, it's gorgeous. Divided into regions, the maps provide paddlers with state-sponsored trails, landing sites, and driving directions. This book is a definite "must have" for the Floridian paddler.
Add this one to your library if you are a river/creek paddler and wish to venture away from your home based creeks. The images are in color and have great informative narratives on each stretch of water the book covers (which includes several). I am just beginning to take my canoe trips across the state line, mainly because my primary love of red snapper fishing has been taken away for the most part. I love the outdoors and grew up floating the Pea River in southern Alabama. Getting back to my roots with my son on different rivers to see new things. This book is a good resource for pre-planning these trips.
If you cherish kayaking Florida this is a must have publication. The photos alone are stunning and worth the price. Unfortunately, some of the information is way out of date and the details that are useful to yakers are on the skimpy side.
I have owned several books on kayaking in Florida. This one is by far the best. It is very comprehensive and divides kayaking sites by region, not alphabetically like some books do. The photos of each site really help me to plan where I want to go next. Book includes maps of the rivers, which is very helpful. It also includes some info on nearby attractions to sites, camping, things to watch out for, etc. The best part? The photos look like they were taken in the 90's, and it's funny to laugh at people's 90's-style bathing suits in the pictures :) But seriously, this book is a must-have for exploring new kayaking sites around Florida. It is the best and by far the most useful river trail book in my collection.
A friend loaned me this book. I found it so inspiring, I decided to buy it for myself. The photos are fantastic. They make you want to throw the kayak on the roof and take off for one of the springs, rivers or coastal trails in Florida. I have kayaked or canoed many of those trails shown and the information is accurate based on my experience. In my mind a picture is worth a thousand words and this book fillfuls that desire. A great book.
This is a wonderfully detailed and up-to-date guide for anyone interested in paddling. There's lots of pictures, wildlife info, maps of entry/exit locations (as well as appropriate parking), estimated duration, length, and difficulty ratings. Overall, this trail guide is very informative and a great help for anyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful nature Florida has to offer.
