Florida's Fabulous Canoe and Kayak Trail Guide

As an avid paddler in Florida and not familiar with most of the paddling spots, this book has been a great asset. It has wonderful pictures and good descriptions of the area and how to get there.

By far this is the most comprehensive guide to canoe and kayak trails in Florida. I highly recommend this book to anyone who owns a canoe or kayak and wants to spend some good quality time on the water.

This is a wonderfully photographed and produced book, and every time I pick it up off of the coffee table (where it proudly lives) for a quick perusal, I just want to get up and go kayaking. It's also the perfect book to share with someone who's never gone before, as both the photography and writing tend to win people over easily. No, it's not an encyclopedia, and yes, you can get the same type of written information from the Florida State Parks service, but you'll not end up with an attractive, inspiring tome if you do. I rated it as a four since some of the maps are just a little lacking in detail.

My husband and I just started kayaking and this is the greatest book for finding places to go. The pictures are excellent and there are descriptions of the different rivers as well as maps of where to put in and things to look for. I think that if you canoe or kayak in Florida, this book is a MUST HAVE!!!! In fact, we have several rivers mapped out to go on as soon as we can!!

Winston Williams has created yet another fabulous book about Florida. This kayak and canoe guide is not only informative, it's gorgeous. Divided into regions, the maps provide paddlers with state-sponsored trails, landing sites, and driving directions. This book is a definite "must have" for the Floridian paddler.
