 Limited by lack of GPS coordinates July 4, 2008
As the book points out there are many critical putins, takeouts, channels and obstacles to miss when rafting or boating rivers. That's why you buy these guides so you can avoid problems. Given this essential safety role this book plays it is very disappointing and potentially deadly that this book does not include GPS coordinates for these key features. To me it is a fatal flaw that the second edtion of this rafting book published in 2008 would not contain them. Makes you wonder about how much updating of the text the authors did for this edition.
 Great book for Montana's waterways October 15, 2002
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This books gives great detail about the each river, best times to go, where the crowds are(n't), basically everything you would need to know. The author explains that many of Monatana's rivers are in the western end, with a few in the dry eastern side. Many rivers described are also Class I (on the river rating system). Keep in mind that Class I can cover alot of levels, including those that are almost Class II. (for you beginners, just because it's class I it's not as smooth as a lake).I mainly bought this book for the Flathead River routes, but discovered so many more river. The book also mentions where to get detailed maps for certain river routes, including the Flathead. If you've got lots of time, you can even explore the route Lewis and Clark took back in the early 1800's.

The authors are competent paddlers and good writers. This is a well organized book with an excellent format. It contains helpful hydrographs and good photos. The informations is dependable. If you desire to paddle a Montana river, this is the place to start. I highly recommend it as THE guide book to get for our state.
