5.0 out of 5 stars Beginning Paddler in Texarkana, March 19, 2007

By	James Urbina (Texarkana, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking for a guide to the many rivers and creeks to take multi-day excursions with my family in Arkansas and the close by rivers to Texarkana where I now live. I am a beginner paddler and need to have details but as any person who is overwhelmed by information, a concise and clear presentation is very helpful. On both counts, this book delivers. Having GPS coordinates is particularly helpful and the maps are very clear. The book is divided by regions, and this is also helpful. I can recommend this book without question.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brand new classic!, July 26, 2006

By	Bill Herring "Bill Fish Herring" (Fayetteville, AR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kennon's Ozark Whitewater was by far the best whitewater guidebook for the Ozarks (and the only one to find information on many streams), and it neve left my shuttle vehicle. It is in tatters now, so the timing of his updated guidebook is perfect timing for me. Though I will always refer to this and any of his books as "Ozark Whitewater" the new name reflects the fact that this is a big upgrade from version two. Much more up to date info, extremely good maps (much improved from the last version), and many new streams (some I've never heard of!). If you're a paddler in Arkansas, Oklahoma, or Missouri, Kennon has again produced the must have book for your paddling library. My copy is already on its way to being destroyed in the back of my shuttle rig! Highly recomended!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good book, no map, April 12, 2009

By	Brad Argo (Iowa) - See all my reviews

If you are needing a comprehensive guide for canoeing the ozarks this is a good book. It doesn't, however, have an overall map. The ozarks are spread across many states and this book explains where the rivers are but without any overall maps it requires a lot of cross-referencing with maps and other guidebooks.
