5.0 out of 5 stars A classic & still an invaluable resource for Ozark paddlers!, March 4, 2001

By	Bill "Fish" Herring (Fayetteville, AR United States) - See all my reviews

The venerable "blue book" of Ozark whitewater streams and paddling is as good a read as ever, and the information is still some of the best you'll find anywhere on the topic. This is *the* book that I always have in my shuttle vehicle. I have a nearly unrecognizable copy that has gone on a few too many adventures, and I bought a new second edition copy a while back and am in the process of wearing it out too. With the number of new paddlers in the area growing in leaps and bounds, this text provides an essential starting point for those wanting to explore the exciting whitewater of Arkansas and Missouri. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Guide for canoers/floaters, April 1, 1999

By A Customer

This is a great guide book for Arkansas and S. Missouri rivers. If you need information about a river in AR./Mo. then this is the book to start your research.
