Guide to Idaho Paddling is
the first comprehensive guide on Idaho rivers which covers the state's
flatwater and easy whitewater river runs. There are no death defying
rapids here, just great laid-back trips down easy-going streams, and fun
whitewater on exciting but safe and sane rivers.
All the runs can be done in an open canoe, but are also suitable for kayaks,
inflatables and drift boats. The text is supplemented with enticing photography
and beautiful, easy-to-use maps.
It's an Idaho best-seller and an outstanding guidebook.
"Time and again, this guidebook shines."
--Bill Brock, Time-News

More Information on Guide to Idaho Paddling
Finally a book for the rest
of us! There are plenty of books on Idaho rivers for advanced whitewater
river runners, but this book, covering nearly 100 different river segments,
is one that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
Katherine Daly
and Ron Watters were the perfect team to do this book. Experienced river
runners and outdoor writers, they put a lot of loving care into this book.
The maps are works of art: accurate, understandable and usable on
the river. To make the book easy-to-use, they supplemented the text
with symbols which quickly encapsulate the river's difficulty, condition
of access roads, surrounding terrain, and other features of the river.
Mileage
charts are included which are invaluable for pinpointing location while
running the river. And there's information on fishing, wildlife,
seasons, water levels, boat ramps, scenic attractions and much more.
All the rivers in this book can be done in an open canoe, but are also
suitable for kayaks, inflatables, and drift boats.
"An
excellent source for planning canoe and kayak trips on the best of the
state's flatwater and easy whitewater. The maps are large,
clearly detailed and useful, and the authors authorative."

Reviews from Users . . .
"This is, by far, the best organized, most helpful [guide] I've seen . . .
.
"This book has excellent descriptions of both the rivers and the roads
that lead to the put-ins and take-outs. It's fun and easy to read. I often find myself looking
through it and dreaming about the next canoe trip in the spring. I've
used many floating guide boats and this is, by far, the best organized,
most helpful one I've seen."
"I wish every state near me had such a great easy water guidebook like this . . .
.
"This is exactly what I was looking for in a canoeing guidebook. Kathy
and Ron breakdown the current river classification of Class I waters,
into more detailed ratings 1.0-1.5, giving detailed descriptions of
each level. Familes can do alot of
these runs. The books consists of flatwater rivers and a few easy
whitewater rivers just to spice things up a bit and get a bit of
practice. I wish every state near me had such a great easy water guidebook like this."
"Enjoy these easy-going streams . . .
.
"If the roar of rapids leaves you in a sweat, relax and enjoy these
easy-going streams and sane river trips. All runs can be done in an
open canoe, kayak, drift boat or inflatable. This great book contains
maps and beautiful photographs." --Alex Sholes
"Excellent book. Well written and very informative." --Jay Barnard

you may purchase it from Barnes and Noble.com. We recommend
Barnes and
Noble instead of Amazon.com since B&N is much fairer in their
treatment of small publishers than Amazon. Amazon asks for deep
discounts which hurt small publishers. B&N, on the other
hand, asks only for the standard publishing discount. Moreover, a
little know secret is that Barnes & Noble keeps many more books in
stock than Amazon. To purchase from Barnes and Noble, click: Guide to Idaho Paddling
