Book Description

In this completely revised and expanded edition of AMC's best-selling Quiet Water guide, authors reveal 100 spectacular ponds, lakes, and rivers in southern New England ideally suited for canoeing and kayaking.

Each entry includes a detailed tour description--now made even easier to use with the addition of new summaries that detail the time, distance, difficulty, and special features of each area--as well as notes on the flora and fauna readers can expect to see along the way. Beginners and experienced paddlers, birdwatchers and anglers, families with children and active seniors--all will appreciate this user-friendly, comprehensive guide to southern New England's best quiet water. Special features include: 100 spectacular calm-water destinations--nearly twice as many as the previous edition, detailed descriptions and maps of each lake, pond, and river, locator map, new at-a-glance trip summaries open each chapter for easy scanning of tour details, diving, parking, and put-in directions, local camping and picnic spots, photographs of plant life and places of interest.
