The U.S. Outdoor Atlas & Recreation Guide: Maps and Charts for All 50 States

Rating:
Summary: Librarian and avid hiker
Review: The subtitle of this book is deceiving. I am quite knowledgeable about hiking and recreation areas north of New York City. Major areas such as Bear Mountain/Harriman State Park were not included. This park complex contains over 250 miles of marked hiking trails, camping, and fishing. Park managers are not likely to know this book is available and request to be included. A good road map or the information booklet mentioned in the notes would tell of the existance of open space. With a 1993 copyright date, this book should have been republished. Fortunately the Web provides far more current information to those outdoor enthusiasts who are looking for places to go on vacation. I would not buy the book, because information is lacking in an area what I know quite well.
