A PADDLER'S GUIDE TO SOUTHERN GEORGIA, 2nd Edition Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
When veteran paddlers Bob Sehlinger and Don Otey set out to write a canoeing and kayaking guide to the streams of Georgia, they discovered that the project was beyond the scope of the average paddling guide. The result of their explorations, therefore, is not a single, comprehensive, detailed and authoritative guidebook to the streams of Georgia, but two such books. Each guide is immense in scope and self-contained, with extensive introductory chapters that provide an easy-to-read overview of Georgia's diverse wildlife, geology, climate and water quality, as well as illuminating explanations of stream formation and hydrology. Each book contains sections on the legal rights of paddlers and emergency procedures, and is illustrated with drawings and photographs. Together, the guides cover thousands of miles of paddling streams which range in difficulty from scenic floats to whitewater runs. Each stream is detailed with a description that conveys the flavor and difficulties of the run in non-technical terms. This description is supplemented with a data sheet that contains an abundance of information. Rounding out each description are detailed river maps showing access points, shuttle routes, and mileages. A detailed guide to the streams of Georgia's western Peidmont and Coastal Plain, with special chapters on the Okefenokee Swamp and the Georgia sea coast.

Very well written and illustrated. Seller over charged for book, but was worth the price as I needed it immediately.
I've used Bob Sehlinger and Don Otey's "A Paddler's Guide to Southern Georgia" since the early 80s. The thirty-four southern and central Georgia river maps and stream descriptions inspired me to venture into a whole new world of canoeing. The chapter on river difficulty ratings and hazards gave me the knowledge and confidence to canoe safely. Sehlinger describes the spirit of Georgia's streams in his Introduction, "To know the streams of southern and central Georgia is to love them, not just for their variety, but also their pristine beauty, exotic uniqueness, their wilderness flavor an tranquil remoteness. Almost every stream is protectively cradled in a forested wilderness corridor." Many of the rivers have large white sandbars that are excellent for overnight canoe-camping. There's nothing like being serenaded by cacophony of chirping, peeping, and bellowing frogs under star-studded skies. Or listening to cicadas or owls while sipping tea in the honey-dipped morning sun. Slipping the canoe into the river and surrendering to its pace brings peace. Sometimes it takes awhile to adjust your internal clock to the river's rhythm. But "river time" does come.
Excellent, highly detailed guide to south Georgia canoeing. Includes road and river mileage between public landings throughout south Georgia. Gives typical water characteristics on each stretch of river. Quality of each landing described in detail, too.
