Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This is the first comprehensive guide on Idaho rivers which covers the state's flatwater and easy whitewater river runs. There are no death defying rapids here, just great laid-back trips down easy-going streams, and fun whitewater on exciting but safe and sane rivers. All the runs can be done in an open canoe, but are also suitable for kayaks, inflatables and drift boats. The text is supplemented with exquisite photography and beautiful, easy-to-use maps.

From the Publisher
Finally a book for the rest of us! There are plenty of books on Idaho rivers for advanced whitewater river runners, but this book, covering nearly 100 different river segments, is one that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Katherine Daly and Ron Watters were the perfect team to do this book. Experienced river runners and outdoor writers, they put a lot of loving care into this book. The maps are works of art: accurate, understandable and usable on the river. To make the book easy-to-use, they supplemented the text with symbols which quickly encapsulate the river's difficulty, condition of access roads, surrounding terrain, and other features of the river.

Mileage charts are included which are invaluable for pinpointing location while running the river. And there's information on fishing, wildlife, seasons, water levels, boat ramps, scenic attractions and much more. All the rivers in this book can be done in an open canoe, but are also suitable for kayaks, inflatables, and drift boats.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for beginners, October 14, 2002
This is exactly what I was looking for in a canoeing guidebook. Kathy and Ron breakdown the current river classification of Class I waters, into more detailed ratings 1.0-1.5, giving detailed descriptions of each level. This book if for people who aren't comfortable with whitewater runs without an experienced guide. Familes can do alot of these runs. The books consists of flatwater rivers and a few easy whitewater rivers just to spice things up a bit and get a bit of practice. Most of the rivers in detail are below the McCall area, which alot of concentration on southeastern Idaho, which is great for me since I live in northern Utah. They also describe very well the routes to the put ins, take outs, and the roads condition. Your basic lake canoe is suitable for almost all rivers described in this book, but getting into the Class II+ and III rivers, they suggest a river-running canoe is better suited for this. Keep in mind, "beginner" does not mean those who are on a canoe for the first time. You do need to know the basic paddling strokes and be able to read rivers.

I wish every state near me had such a great easy water guidebook like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, February 17, 2003
By A Customer
This book has excellent descriptions of both the rivers and the roads that lead to the put-ins and take-outs. I wish every state had a book like this. It's fun and easy to read. I often find myself looking through it and dreaming about the next canoe trip in the spring. I've used many floating guide boats and this is, by far, the best organized, most helpful one I've seen.

3.0 out of 5 stars Guide to Idaho Paddling, January 1, 2002
By Paul T Clark (Lewiston, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews
I was disappointed that this book does not cover Northern Idaho. If you want a book for Southern Idaho to the McCall area this book would be a good resource. If you want a book for Northern Idaho this isn't the right book. In fact the authors reference another book that has detail about North Idaho waters. In addition, some of the Web pages that are referenced are not correct. I found them through an internet search.
