What an informative and excellent canoe guide. I was very surprised that their were so many canoeing opportunities very near my home.
This guide provides a great deal of useful (helpful) information to anyone interested in doing SHORT, DAY TRIPS in canoes and/or kayaks on many of the navigable rivers in Tennessee, but provides essentially no information about longer sections of the rivers, which might necessitate overnight camping. I was disappointed that it was not more comprehensive in that regard, and seems more devoted to providing information for the novice paddler, rather than to a serious enthusiast interested in paddling more than just a few miles or a few hours. Anyone interested in doing extended trips on most of these rivers will need considerably more information than is provided by this book, but on the positive side, it does serve to whet the appetite.
This guide met our expectations completely. Great for people re-locating to TN that are looking forward to paddling the rivers in TN. Our first trip on the Red River was successful following this useful gude.
If you are looking for information and good places to go canoeing or kayaking in Tennessee, this is your book. It gives you all information needed to plan an awesome trip.
I haven't lived in Tennessee very long and this book is exactly what I was looking for! Great maps and descriptions.
Wordy. Could be done in 20 pages. Feels like someone sat down and paraphrased park websites. Here's a thought to improve value - create google map with markers for the put I/take out points and landmarks described in the book.
I have spent hours reading the different places the author has been planning the trips I want to take for kayaking and camping this summer! It is very thorough and well laid out!
We gave this as a Christmas gift, and it was very well received. Nice & informative!
