Excellent!,

This review is from: Hiking Mississippi: A Guide to Trails and Natural Areas (Hardcover)
Also a native Mississippian, we have used this book again and again. Whether you camp Mississippi state parks, are looking for "off the beaten path" things to see and do, or love the outdoors, this book is for you. I never knew how much I was missing right around me until I got this book. I just ordered "Canoeing Mississippi" and hope it is as wonderful as this one.

This review is from: Hiking Mississippi: A Guide to Trails and Natural Areas (Paperback)
I've used this guidebook many times to locate and enjoy Mississippi's many public parks and nature areas. The information on each destination is wonderfully complete, with maps, phone numbers, and detailed lists of available features and services. This book is a wonderful resource for people interested in exploring the rich flora and fauna of Mississippi.

This review is from: Hiking Mississippi: A Guide to Trails and Natural Areas (Paperback)
This book, while informative, is quite difficult to use. As a fairly experienced hiker, I was excited to use this book to explore my new surroundings. However, much to my disappointment, I found this book to be difficult to use, lacking basic information such as directions to the trail heads, elevation gain, and maps of the actual hikes. Instead, the author provides a series of topographical maps and detailed maps of the overall area (forest, park, etc) which do little to give the reader a real sense of the hike.
If I had the opportunity to do things over, I'm not certain I would purchase this book. It's given me hours of headache with little reward.
