| Canoeing Michigan Rivers: A Comprehensive Guide to 45 Rivers by Friede Publications Great tool for paddlers. | ||
| All the information you need to explore new rivers. Giving it as a gift to all our paddling freinds and family. | ||
| Canoeing Michigan Rivers: A Comprehensive Guide to 45 Rivers by Friede Publications a very useful book | ||
| It would be nice if it were easy to scout out a river before driving to an access point and paddling it. This book does it for you. The directions to access points and places to park are very detailed and good. The maps are excellent and very clear. There are written notes on the problems or special circumstances you will encounter, which are very intelligent and accurate. I checked the rivers I have paddled and read the remarks, and they are just what you need to know, and they are true. The author really knows what he is writing about, this is not a book thrown together by someone who hasn't actually been on the river. If you want to know which Michigan rivers are in this book, here is a list:
Lower Peninsula: Au Sable Au Sable South Branch Betsie Black Boardman Cass Chippewa Dowagiac Flat Huron Jordan Kalamazoo Little Manistee Little Muskegon Mansitee Muskegon Ocqueoc Pere Marquette Pigeon Pine Platte Rifle Shiawassee Sturgeon Thornapple Thunder Bay White Upper Peninsula: Black Brule Escanaba Ford Fox Indian Manisique Michigamme Montreal Ontonagon (East Branch, Mainstream, Middle Branch, South Branch) Paint Presque Isle Sturgeon Two Hearted Whitefish | ||
| Canoeing Michigan Rivers: A Comprehensive Guide to 45 Rivers by Friede Publications Wonderfully helpful book | ||
| What a great book! I am a beginner kayaker having never kayaked a river before - and was nervous even thinking about it. This book was very descriptive and informative. We did the Platte River from Loon Lake to Lake Michigan and it was a blast. Very relaxing. The maps of the rivers were great as was the description of the landings and portages. Looking forward to my next river, and this book will help decide which one! | ||
| Canoeing Michigan Rivers: A Comprehensive Guide to 45 Rivers by Friede Publications Great Book | ||
| This book is really good to have in the car or for planning a trip. It is really handy having the maps next to the description. Good accurate maps and great insight. | ||
| Canoeing Michigan Rivers: A Comprehensive Guide to 45 Rivers by Friede Publications Great overview | ||
| The people who wrote this book definately did their homework. I've gone down a few of the rivers in the lower peninsula and this book was an impeccable guide. Now, Lower Peninsula rivers aren't exactly the meanest or fastest, but there are enough twists and turns to keep your attention and to want a book like this aroud, if only to know what's all out there. There was also good attention paid to campsites and drop off points gone through in great detail. I once tried a dropoff point agains the recommendation of this book and paid for it dearly.
The problem about getting hardcovers of natural wonders like rivers is that all too often the data becomes obsolete after a couple years. For this case is seems that it's still pretty to date, but check on the web anyways just in case conditions change. | ||
