5.0 out of 5 stars Great for flat/calmer water kayaking

We live in the Willamette Valley and bought this when were were getting into kayaking earlier this year. It's a perfect resource for a beginner or someone new to the area. First part of the book has a lot of good general info about paddling in general, safety, technique, etc. It's entertaining to read as well with lots of neat information surrounding whatever body of water you're dropping into. I'm finding myself wishing the author would check out a few other states and provide me with that info too. Well worth the purchase if you're just starting out or new to this area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great help!

Thank you, thank you. We needed this guide book to help us along the way with suggestions where to load in and out of our local kayaking hot spots. It goes with us on every trip.

Great book. Very imformational and detailed maps. Includes northern Oregon and southwestern Washington. I like the details about what to expect as far as the speed and class of rapids and the river speed. Nice to know how much you are going to have to paddle!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this now if you love kayaking and live in the Pacific NW

Living in Portland, OR and being new to kayaking this book has been a Godsend. We have already kayaked in 2 of the listed spots and have plans to do many more. I wanted to check this out from the library before buying. I'm glad I didn't because now I have my own copy and don't have to worry about it expiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book was in perfect condition

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide for NW paddlers

I spent my youth on rivers in northern california. I have been wanting to get back into paddling for some time. This book is just the ticket on "where to go" for NW paddlers. Now all I need is the boat..

3.0 out of 5 stars the skill comes in making them sound so wonderful a reader can't wait to go try them all

W. · October 21, 2015

The book has plenty of ideas, but the information comes in a fairly dry package. Anyone can draw up a list of rivers and lakes; the skill comes in making them sound so wonderful a reader can't wait to go try them all. That's the part that is lacking here, inspiration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book.

Was hoping for lakes as well as rivers, but this is a good place to start, for kayaking as well as SUP (intermediate to advanced) paddlers.
