The Poster Child of Wilderness Canoeing Guides, Sep 16 2010
By Dennis L. Tyler "Old Rattler" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Northern Saskatchewan Canoe Trips: A Guide to 15 Wilderness Rivers (Paperback)
Anyone contemplating writing a wilderness canoeing guide would do well to go the distance in emulating this guidebook; it is nothing short of fantastic on every front and especially well-written and organized.I will also add that it is one of the better "Look inside" presentations I've seen on Amazon. Northern-ish Canada, i.e. the latitudinal belt running across the sub-arctic provinces, is a wonderful part of the globe to explore, especially by canoe, and for its broad range of skill requirements (there are options for every skill level; not everyone is looking for a Class IV or V rapids experience) and this guide covers them all, and more, for Northern Saskatchewan. Ms. Archer also includes considerable, fascinating history regarding the area and the river trips described. Especially interesting is the detailing of where each of the rivers covered fit into both the First Nation's history and the early fur trade voyageurs. I very highly recommend this guide.

Don't go without it, May 15 2006
By J. Ross pepper - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Northern Saskatchewan Canoe Trips: A Guide to 15 Wilderness Rivers (Paperback)
I took last summer off to float some rivers in Canada. This book is excellent both for deciding which of the rivers of Northern Saskatchewan to float and for use during your trip. It is exceptionally well organized and detailed. Ms. Archer will not steer you wrong and the book is full of helpful advice that comes from a person who has obviously done a multitude of river trips and who has an exceptional level of wilderness wisdom and skill.

The book you need, Aug 19 2005
By J. Moody - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Northern Saskatchewan Canoe Trips: A Guide to 15 Wilderness Rivers (Paperback)
If you plan on going canoeing in N. Sask. this is the book you need. Almost every major river in this area is profiled with history, character of river, detailed map with UTM coordinates of important sites. Also includes info. on the type of fish in each river - important for the anglers. I have used it on several occasions when paddling in this beautiful area of N. Sask. The appendix includes important outfitter contacts and websites to check water levels.
