Paddle Routes Of The Inland Northwest,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paddling Washington: 100 Flatwater and Whitewater Routes in Washington State and the Inland Northwest (Paperback)
This is a very good book to have on hand when planning a kayak or canoe trip. It has all the pertinent information on put in and take out locations, water class ect. The maps are a added plus.

The must have guide for paddling the inland NW!,

This review is from: Paddling Washington: 100 Flatwater and Whitewater Routes in Washington State and the Inland Northwest (Paperback)
This is without question the must have guide for paddling the inland Northwest! I've used the guide for several years in planning my own trips and as a reference in updating and writing my own guides for Mountaineers Books. I always refer others to the guide when they inquire about where to paddle in the inland NW.

Paddling Washington Rivers,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paddling Washington: 100 Flatwater and Whitewater Routes in Washington State and the Inland Northwest (Paperback)
Having done two of the routes described in this book (Ross Lake and the Yakima River Canyon), I have mixed feelings:
On one hand, there is a lot of useful information in this book (e.g. which sections of which rivers are most suitable for paddling, and at what water levels). On the other hand, the description for Ross Lake wasn't very detailed (e.g. no mention of the one-mile lake access trail), and the map for the Yakima River Canyon route had the take-out site a mile downstream of the actual location. There does not appear to be a website for submitting and viewing errata for this book. Also, given that most of the routes in this book are on rivers and require a shuttle, a list of reliable shuttle companies would have been a plus.
