4.0 out of 5 stars very helpful, May 9 2007

By Mathew W. Moran "matt moran" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Quiet Water New York, 2nd: Canoe & Kayak Guide (Paperback)

In time for spring and summer, the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) has released a new, second edition of Quiet Water: New York, a Canoe and Kayak guide to the Empire State compiled by John Hayes and Alex Wilson.

As the title suggests, the authors are very clear that their new guidebook is designed for the canoe and kayak enthusiast who is look for quiet or solitude. There is no whitewater assistance offered here. However, ninety different options around New York State including nine locations within Central New York are suggested in this book.

"Quiet Water" also includes a plethora of helpful suggestions to plan your next outing on the water. The books provides maps, habitat descriptions of each area, phone numbers, websites, even a description of animal habitats one might encounter on the water. Scattered throughout the volume are photos from the water and profiles of local animals.

A great companion guide to anyone who looking to paddle this summer.

This review is from: Quiet Water New York, 2nd: Canoe & Kayak Guide (Paperback)

Definitely a nice book overall, with thorough descriptions of calm bodies of water in New York State. However, I'm disappointed with the lack of map detail. In addition, there are no coordinates given (i.e., lattitude and longitude). This is an updated book and should definitely include coordinates for modern-day GPS users. I had to cross-reference another book that had better map detail and included coordinates (title: The Hudson River Water Trail Guide-6th edition).

This review is from: Quiet Water New York, 2nd: Canoe & Kayak Guide (Paperback)

This new edition clearly has updated information which in some cases, needed to be. It makes this book more useful and a fine resource for good paddling choices. It added a few new areas but left some still not included, which, in my opinion - is good - something should be left for the explorers out there. This series continues to improve and offer new paddlers some great choices to find and remind experienced paddlers some places they may have over looked.
