5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book - Very Complete Information, May 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rivers and Rapids: A Very Complete Canoeing, Rafting, and Fishing Guide to the Streams and Rivers of Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma (Paperback)

This book is the perfect guide to Texas rivers. It gives a description of each river, including different runs on each. It provides information on camping in the area, where to rent a canoe, rapid class categories, phone numbers for flow information and myriad other details that give you the confidence to literally pick a trip from the book and do it! I'm buying my second copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reference for Texas/Arkansas/Oklahoma Paddling!, May 4, 2004

By 

"cpaq01" (Fort Worth, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rivers and Rapids: A Very Complete Canoeing, Rafting, and Fishing Guide to the Streams and Rivers of Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma (Paperback)

This Essential Reference book opens with detailed local fish population info and photos. Statewide canoe/paddling clubs are listed next along with recommended equipment diagrams & checklists and a glossary of useful river/paddling terms.(worthy of purchase alone) THEN you get an alphebetically listed, turn by turn, comprehensive diagram and description of multiple rivers in 3 states. Enough said? Too bad this is getting so hard to find!

This review is from: Rivers and Rapids: Canoeing, Rafting and Fishing Guide; Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma (Paperback)

This book is the authority on where to raft/kayak/canoe - you get all the info you need about drop-off and pick-up points, plus mile-by-mile information. Great book - I wish the authors would revise their last edition (2000)! Still, the 2000 edition is very helpful. Highly recommended to Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas canoeists/kayakers!
