5.0 out of 5 stars well-researched, excellent detail, for all abilities, June 15, 1997

Canoeing in Tennessee is a great resource for canoers of all levels. The maps of rivers and how to find them are detailed and accurate; the author also highlights the local flora and fauna and historic aspects of each segment of water she illustrates. There are lots of books on whitewater canoeing in Tennessee, but this is the only current one I've found on "quiet water" paddling. I highly recommend it for all levels of canoers

AS AN AVID CANOEIST AND CANOE BUILDER, I FOUND SHERWIN'S BOOK TO CONTAIN MORE THAN ANY CANOEIST NEEDS TO HAVE A FUN AND SAFE FLOAT TRIP. HER INFO ABOUT THE STREAMS IS CORRECT, COULD ONLY COME FROM HAVING BEEN THERE. THIS IS "MUST" BOOK FOR STREAM ANGLERS TOO.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended !!, August 13, 2007

Have went on several of the floats in the book, most were on creeks I didn't even know existed. The details for put-ins and take-outs, water mileage, etc. have been very accurate. She speaks in the book of possibly doing another edition later on and I sure hope she does ..
