Review
Mike's sense of history adds richness and depth to our beautiful southern Wisconsin rivers. -- Darren Bush, Vice President, Rutabega PaddleSport Shop
About the Author
A recently retired college administrator and former resident of Wisconsin, Mike Svob has canoed and kayaked the rivers and streams of the Midwest for more than 30 years. Since 1996, he has paddled over 3,000 river-miles for three guidebooks published by Trails Books: Paddling Southern Wisconsin, Paddling Northern Wisconsin, and Paddling Illinois. He is convinced that a canoe or kayak is the best and most relaxing way to visit beautiful places.

Contains a Wealth of Information,
This review is from: Paddling Southern Wisconsin: 83 Great Trips by Canoe and Kayak, 2nd Revised Edition (Trails Books Guide) (Paperback)
I was happily surprised at the amount of information in this book. I was particularly looking for information on kayaking Wisconsin rivers that have few rapids. (recreational family touring)This book contained excellent maps, information on where to enter and exit rivers, areas that may need to be portaged, what types of rapids you will encounter (all the different classes of rapids), what you will see, etc. I am very happy with this book. I also purchased PADDLING NORTHERN WISCONSIN: 82 GREAT TRIPS BY CANOE AND KAYAK.
