Product Description
Southern New England's rivers change little from year to year, but human management of watersheds does. Access points change, water levels are adjusted, new bridges are built, and water quality continues to improve. In this completely updated and revised edition of AMC's classic River Guide: Massachusetts/Connecticut/Rhode Island, paddlers of all ability levels will find the comprehensive, straightforward information they need to experience waterways from serene rivers to challenging whitewater--and everything in between. Detailed river descriptions, a reader-friendly format, and detailed maps make trip selection and planning quick and easy. This guide provides up-to-date information on more than 2,000 miles of river, including the Connecticut, Deerfield, Concord, Housatonic, and many more. Whether a novice canoeist, experienced kayaker, or seasoned angler, no paddler should be without an AMC River Guide.
Special features include: >Rivers and their tributaries listed by watershed and presented in reasonable segments for canoe and kayak trips >Easy-to-skim tables that summarize recommended water levels and seasonal conditions and difficulty levels >Locator maps and access directions >Descriptive text with essential information including road access, landmarks, attributes of each river segment, and cumulative distances >Distances for portages plus total distance for each river segment >Suggested flat water and quick water trips, plus lists of rivers with easy rapids and rivers with Class III, IV, and V rapids >Recommendations for multiday river trips and related resources

Great river reviews - your mileage may vary! January 3, 2007 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
A handy sized, informative guide to rivers in our area. We have used this to plan numerous trips on rivers and have found the guide to be (relatively) accurate and easy to use. Having said that, we discovered (duh!) that rivers change over time and that this guide is a great STARTING point for trip planning. Good scouting and maybe talking to people with experience on the river in question are valuable parts of good trip prep. There is a website for the book where people can submit changes or inaccuracies that they have discovered - this helps to keep the guide current. All in all one of the best we've looked at.
