4.0 out of 5 stars Day trips in abundance, March 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Whitewater; Quietwater, 8th: A Guide to the Rivers of Wisconsin, upper Michigan, and northeast Minnesota (Paperback)

The authors do two things in the book. First they give a brief overview of canoeing techniques, cautions and safety, and then a number of trips that can be taken in the Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, and Minnisota areas. Included are maps and sites, as well as cautions for rapids, barb wire, and other hazards which may need care or avoidance.

The area that was somewhat lacking was the way to piece the shorter trips together for a longer trip, since there was less camping information in the river descriptions. The inclusion of both whitewater sections as well as a number of sections of quiet water was helpful.
