From the Back Cover
From mangrove-lined creeks in Key Largo to secluded coastlines in the remote Dry Tortugas, the Florida Keys and surrounding shallow tropical waters possess natural and man-made wonders unmatched in the continental United States. In this water paradise, paddlers have an almost unlimited number of creeks, mangroves, and shorelines to explore, from sheltered paddling on the oceanside of the Upper Keys to open-water crossings in the Middle Keys to explorations of outlying islands in the Lower Keys.
The Florida Keys Paddling Atlas provides custom-made charts, from Key Largo to Key West and the Dry Tortugas, specifically designed for paddlers, fly fishers, snorkelers, and other small-craft water enthusiasts interested in shallow water exploration. Each chart is fully annotated with key put-ins, paddle-friendly marinas, and hidden waterways. Accompanying field notes provide route-finding information, including distances and suggested routes, paddling highlights, cautions, natural history, flora and fauna, and points of interest, to help guide water travelers on their own excursions and adventures. An extensive appendix contains information on kayak launches, outfitters, guides, rentals, camping, and paddle-friendly lodging and dining.

This review is from: Florida Keys Paddling Atlas (Paddling Series) (Paperback)
As a guide and avid paddler I found this book incredibly useful and informative. Anyone that will set out to explore the paradise of the Keys will find their way to many areas that would never be found without this book. Bill and Mary obviously did their homework with the ultimate guide book for all paddlers enjoying the beauty of the Keys. Nice job guys.

Terrific Paddling Information for the Florida Keys,
By
This review is from: Florida Keys Paddling Atlas (Paddling Series) (Paperback)
Even with just glancing at it, I can tell it is so much more thorough than most guide books, and the index and go to points will make it more useful than any of the others. - Wow, I need to go out paddling!
The more I look at it, the better it gets! So much more detail than any of the others - in a class by itself - like the title says.

Florida Keys Paddling Atlas Has It All,
By
This review is from: Florida Keys Paddling Atlas (Paddling Series) (Paperback)
This guidebook has it all! Spot-on nautical charts that lead you through some of the best paddling the Keys have to offer, including mangrove-lined lagoons, sea grass beds teeming with wildlife, and shallow tidal flats that change form with the rise and fall of the ocean waters; brilliant pictures that draw you into this unique and magical natural habitat; and pointers on where to rent, where to launch, and, most important after a long day of paddling, where to eat!
Grab a kayak and share the adventures of Bill & Mary Burnham as they navigate this aquatic paradise.
