This review is from: A Cruising Guide to the Tennessee River, Tenn-Tom Waterway, and Lower Tombigbee River (Paperback)

I would rate this book as a "must-have" for anyone cruising the Tennessee River. We've also used it to help transit the TennTom Waterway from the Tennessee River down to Mobile, and it was quite helpful there as well, although somewhat dated. When the TennTom portion of the book was written the waterway was quite new, and with the passage of 10-15 years some of the recommended anchorages have shoaled and become unusable for boats of anything but very shallow draft. Still, this guide helped us find more than one excellent anchorage that we likely would have missed otherwise.

This review is from: A Cruising Guide to the Tennessee River, Tenn-Tom Waterway, and Lower Tombigbee River (Paperback)

This book is bad out of date. The book described one marina (Lady's Landing) that has been closed for years. Also talked about the draw bridge at the entrance to Dog River Marina that was replaced with "high rise" bridge years ago. There were several other things that were out of date.

I purchased this book because it was my first trip down the Waterway. It was a good thing I had other information.

This book either needs to be edited or taken off the market.
