Paddling Minnesota Review

Paddling Minnesota
Average Reviews:

Some of the maps are lacking in detail, but this is the standard, and I think everyone paddling canoes and kayaks in Minnesota owns a copy. It's also the "official" book with the approval of the DNR (Department of Natural Resources). I'd love for better, and larger, maps, but this book is most of what you need.

Paddling Michigan Review

This book, Paddling Michigan, and Canoeing Michigan Rivers by Jerry Dennis and Craig Date were both purchased by our Scout Troop to aid in the planning and execution of our Scouting Outing Canoe trips. Both books are great, but the boys preferred the Canoeing Michigan Rivers over this book Paddling Michigan, although both books are being used by the Scouts.
This book has it all to plan an outing, the maps, river description, challenge, a "standard time factor" and excellent commentary on the expectation of the canoe trip. The Senior Patrol Leader Council, the event planning committee of Boy Scouts aged 14-17, was able to take this book and properly plan, organize and execute several canoe trips. It had all the information needed to make the proper decisions without having to go visit the river first, or rely on comments from someone who knows someone who said that access to the river was available from County Road 48.
The Scout Troop now uses this book as a first resourse for planning canoe trips in Michigan and has greatly aided the exploration of the rivers of Michigan with confidence!

This is an excellent guidebook for anyone who is interested in doing any part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. Section by section the guidebook walks the reader through what to expect and look for along the trail. Combined with the section maps and web based trip planner there aren't many questions that go unanswered.
There's a lot of information packed into the book with excellent trip suggestions and pointers on what to see and look for on your trip. I especially liked the suggested trips and the section on through paddling.

The Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT) links the waterways of New York, Vermont, Quebec, New Hampshire, and Maine. This is the first official guidebook to the whole 740-mile trail and reflects the broad mission of the NFCT: To celebrate the rich human heritage and diverse natural environment of the Northern Forest by establishing a water trail that traces historic Native American travel routes across the region.The route's variety of flat water, swift water, and whitewater--expanding across a range of rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds--provides extensive opportunities for canoe, kayak, and camping recreation. Vibrant communities along the way offer inns, B&Bs, and museums, as well as other recreational and historical attractions. This guidebook goes beyond route information to serve as a narrative of the natural, human, and cultural legacy of the region and its wonderful accessibility to visitors.
