About this title

Synopsis

Florida’s water resources are among its most significant assets, and exploring the rivers and streams is one of the best ways to experience the state’s diverse natural resources. A Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to Florida is the premier guide to paddling the waterways of the Sunshine State. The comprehensive guide features: detailed river maps, thorough river profiles, and photographs. At-a-glance information includes critical river data such as river classification, river gauge, water level, water velocity, gradient, and ratings for scenery. With over 60 detailed profiles of the best canoeing and kayaking waterways in Florida, this guide is almost as indispensable as the paddle and life jacket. From the exciting and beautiful runs of the Panhandle’s Econfina to slower paddles through wildlife-rich Everglades National Park, A Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to Florida details the best paddling experiences the state has to offer.
