Don't Waste Your $$$

Once again, for the fourth time, Menasha Press has taken material written over 30 years ago, fluffed it up a bit by adding new maps (available on google), put in some photos of the new "author", and offered it to the public. If you have an older version of this book, don't waste your money. The same information is available Free from the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation through their Trails Program and from Florida Greenways and Trails. Both offer excellent guides on all of the streams included in this book and they are much more timely as they print in smaller quantities and can up-date as needed.

Florida kayaking information

I used this book to try to plan out a kayak camping trip mainly, and to just find some places to kayak on day trips secondarily.

Skimpy on actual local sites.

Only two launch sites listed in my area. There are a lot more here. So I guess I will just continue to poke around And find new sites.
