This is a good guide packed full with good info. You are going to need to buy a DeLorme atlas for Florida along with it. The maps in the book are pretty scant.

Very interested in paddling some of Florida's spring fed creeks, one of which was the Wakualla. I was unware that the best stretch of this river was not open to canoes in the state park area. Thanks to this book, I saved a tank of gas and a bunch of frustration from a trip I had begin planning a week or two earlier. It is always best to consult with the locals but this book is the next best thing and well worth its price.

If you're thinking about exploring Florida's waters on a paddle craft, this book is a must have. It is very well written and has tons of useful information. It covers everything from getting there to what outfitter services operate in the areas you are or are intending to paddlie. The book provides very accurate mileage and landmarks for gauging distance while on the water. In addition, the book provides very good maps of all the areas covered. If you want more detailed maps, go to google earth and get aerial shots. All in all, I strongly recommend this book which is why I gave it five stars. Thanks Johnny Molloy for another great book.
