We referred to this book time and time again and found accurate, precise information regarding Lake Michigan and Superior paddle trips. Guided us to many accesible sites that represents the true nature of both lakes, from sandy beaches to rocky shores. An accurate guidance of what skill level should attempt each trip. Great book to use as a guide to map a vacation. Also good information regarding restuarants and camping spots.

Being an experienced sea kayaker I often review books to evaluate the competence of the authors. This book is written by kayakers who really love the sport and want to share it but who have chosen not to guide new kayakers' every stroke. So many guide books do the entire trip for you leaving you with little to learn about your personal skill and no adventure whatsoever. They give you the basics and then leave it to you to discover yourself and adventure. Great guidebook!

Good directions to put-ins and landmarks visible on the water

This was an excellent resource several years ago and I would have rated it at 5 stars. But, now, it is quickly becoming outdated. I would still recommend it as a basic informational source on the area attractions, but advise anyone planning a trip on these lakes to get some current advice, information and maps from the internet and official sources.
