Summary: Paddling Northern Wisconsin
Review: A very much needed book. Finally updates "Whitewater/ Quietwater" with much better information and maps. Written extremely well with lots of interesting tidbits of river info. This book has become the one must have book for paddling in Northern Wisconsin. Mike's Paddling Illinois is due momentarily.

Summary: Questionable Ratings
Review: Exellent maps showing river sections, notable rapids and nearby roads. Descriptions of the river sections and of notable rapids are well-written and generally accurate. Some of the ratings of the rapids are questionable. Some rapids are rated as Class II which are not appropriate for an open canoe.

Summary: If you love exploring Wisconsin rivers....this is for you!
Review: I checked this book out from our local library in Green Bay and have subsequently asked for it for my birthday. This is a wonderful compilation of information, maps and helpful hints on a wide variety of northern Wisconsin rivers. Having just bought a canoe last year, my wife and I have poured over these pages looking for new possible places to explore in this wonderful state of ours. A trip that we've taken the past few years is noted in incredible detail in this book. It includes notes on remote islands which we camp on to which rapids are worthy of portaging around. (We're amatuers!). The author has done a wonderful job appealing to both rookies and more advanced paddlers by not taking anything for granted and explaining each bend and turn in superb detail. He also provides fascinating information on the history of the rivers and flowages he comments on. Overall, I must say this is a must for serious (and not-so-serious) paddlers. A great gift. (Hint, hint mom! )
