This is a great book for Georgia paddlers. I really like day trips so it being limited to day trips is really what I was looking for. I knock it one star however based on the float time given for a stretch I paddle often. Never in my best days shape could I float this trip in the estimated time just to many deadfalls and shallow water spots to pull over, maybe at flood stage? Anyway, it puts concern in my mind as to whether I can trust the estimates on other rivers I am unfamiliar with. So before I make any trip down unknown waters, I will use the path feature in google earth to estimate my trips length. With that said, I would purchase this book again if I lost the copy I have. Just full of good information and on a side note I am putting together myself a good library of Johnny Malloy books. Very jealous of the authors day job...
for Christmas 2012 I got this book and Canoeing and Kayaking Georgia. Paddling Georgia does not have a very good map although the descriptions of put ins and take outs are good it involves mostly day trips. Canoeing and Kayaking Georgia has a much better, more detailed map section, with very easy to follow guides to the portions of rivers discussed. To be truthful both books have roughly the same information about each river section although Canoeing and Kayaking Georgia has more varied information about each run, the real difference is the general information section, 'the how to use this book' section in the front. in Canoeing and Kayaking Georgia it is much more detailed with water flow rates and temperatures by month. If you only must buy one book you will find Canoeing and Kayaking Georgia more useful. I was going to use MLK weekend to go on a multinight river trip but recognize it will be too cold. I will re-edit this review after I put the information form both books into use.
This book really helped me understand how to access many of the rivers in North GA. Much of this has been stolen and put on the internet, but it is a great reference for any outdoor sportsman who plans a river trip.
GREAT reference, really well put together for the kind of book that will get flipped through a lot. We're not from Georgia, so I wanted a guide to give us comprehensive info for planning weekend paddling trips.
I thought the book was helpful. It's got great info on paddlingGeorgia's Streams & Rivers. But only gives info on one day trips.
Very good book for beginner paddlers. Malloy does a all the hard work for you(outfitters,pick-up points,river assessments.)
