Georgia, the largest state east of the Mississippi, has ten major river basins and an estimated 20,000 miles of streams. A Canoeing & Kayaking Guide to Georgia combines and expands the information gathered in A Paddler’s Guide to Southern Georgia and A Paddler’s Guide to Northern Georgia, the classic paddling guides for this state for over twenty years. From the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia to the Atlantic Coast of Southeast Georgia, this redesigned and completely updated guide to paddling the creeks, rivers, and coastal waterways of Georgia covers thousands of miles of paddling that range in difficulty from scenic floats down the Oostanaula to whitewater runs of the Dog. New maps, new river profiles, completely updated contact information, at-a-glance data that includes class, length, time, gauge, level, gradient, volume, and ratings for solitude and scenery make this guide almost as indispensable as the paddle and life jacket.

Disappointing,
This review is from: A Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to Georgia (Canoe and Kayak Series) (Paperback)
I found this book a relatively little use in a recent trip to the Altamaha basin. During my limited scouting, I found at least five errors on the maps which resulted in extra miles driven. Moreover, the narrative fails to mention the pervasive impact of the pulp plant stench on enjoyment of the lower river. I wonder if the information available has really been updated from the earlier guidebooks. While there is some useful information in this book, I strongly recommend using online sources and local maps to augment trip planning.

This review is from: A Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to Georgia (Canoe and Kayak Series) (Paperback)
This books provides great detail about floatable sections of the rivers and creeks around the state. They are broken down by region and section of the river. There is also supporting information for some of the rivers like discussion with the paddlers involved in the making of the river scenes of the movie Deliverance on the Chattooga river. In my opinion, this is an excellent resource for the canoer/kayaker/fisher.

This review is from: A Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to Georgia (Canoe and Kayak Series) (Paperback)
I purchased this book to use as part of my pre-planning for paddle trips on rivers and creeks in Georgia my son and I have not visited. It is very informative and something I consider a must before venturing down an unknown stretch of water without a the knowledge or experience of a local.
