2.0 out of 5 stars
Not worth the money!,
By RICHARD GABRIEL (Georgia/USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rail-Trails Southeast: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Tennessee (Paperback)
The book includes 55 rail-trails, but only 21 are longer than 10 miles--a large number are 0.5-2.0 miles! The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy and the publisher must be trying to "stretch" the books into multiple volumes ("Southeast", "Northwest", "New England")to have 50 trails in each, even if many are only 1 mile long! If you live in region "X", and want to travel to region "Y" to ride, you're not interested in trails of only 0.5 to 5.0 miles!
On the positive, trail descriptions are detailed; great maps; contact for the organization responsible for the trail; directions to access points are clear.

All of the Rails to Trails Guide books are well worth the money. I find them useful when I visit an area to become acquainted with bike trails that are near by. The maps are good and the trail difficulty discussions are right on. This guide covers a large geographic area very well.
