Very good book. Lots of trails that I would have never known about. The trails are broken up into regions around the lake, making it easy to plan outings for where ever you are going.

Nice book, nice maps, nice descriptions, poor GPS. If you can't find a book with better GPS info., then this one works well. Maps are good, descriptions have enough detail too.
