Excellent book, I recommend this to anyone. I use this book for canoe trip planning with my family. Detailed information is given here. As usual it is another fine book by AMC.

4.0 out of 5 stars More, please!, November 19, 2007

By	Cecil Bothwell "Author of Pure Bunkum" (Asheville, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a canoeist I can only pray for titles similar to this series to span the continent. These guides offer listings by region and alphabetical indices, area maps, launch site directions and parking advice. Wilson mentions special points of interest -- geologic formations, settlements, graveyards, and odd indigenous species -- with sidebars covering nature lore. A super gift for the New England canoodler in your life.

3.0 out of 5 stars There are others........, September 19, 2003

By	Andrew Floyd (Rochester, NH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Quiet Water Canoe Guide: New Hampshire/Vermont (Paperback)

I purchased this book as a guide book for kayaking lakes that I may have not known about. I found the book lacking on listing ALL the possible lakes not just some the author knew. I was looking for a lake guide book that list every lake, pond, maybe river not just a few. I had the older book and that listed even less. This also concentrates on the wildlife and plant life rather than describing the actual lake. This could be a really good guide book if it were done better...........
