 Don't go into the Okefenokee without it! March 4, 2006
My tattered and stained copy has been an integral part in planning each of my six trips into the Okefenokee. I personally could do without all of the details on the various plant species but I love the in-depth descriptions on what is around virtually every turn. Traveling from Virginia, I could have also used more information on area camping and lodging. In addition, I love fishing on my trips into the Okefenokee but the book essentially ignores the topic. While the book could be improved upon, it is a fascinating and invaluable resource for anyone interested in experiencing the magic of an Okefenokee wilderness canoe trip.
 This is an average book from a national publisher April 22, 2001

If you really want to learn about the plants and animals from an author who has been raised in Georgia, please take a look at the Highroad Guide to the Georgia Coast & Okefenokee by Richard J. Lenz.
A MUST if you are a "First-Timer" to the Swamp March 14, 2000

The maps in the back of the book are from satellite images. I found the canoe trail information on these maps far superior to the information offered by the Fish and Wildlife "free" maps. The book is small enough to put in a plastic bag, and strap to your gear in the canoe so that you can know right where you are, even without a GPS.The content is certainly worth studying before selecting the kind of trip you want to make to the swamp. The information about the creatures and the plants you are likely to encounter made the entire experience more enjoyable. I would have rated the book higher if it would have communicated more of the sheer beauty of the Okefenokee... but then a reader might consider the book a "puff" piece.
