5.0 out of 5 stars Paddling Kansas - fills the bill, May 26, 2008

By	Thomas J. Hittle "KS River Runner" (KS - USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book really does a fine job with maps and details that can get you onto some the rare publicly accessible rivers in Kansas. Author, Dave Murphy has really put together a fine guide book in a state that has, up to now, not been well known for its rivers.
