Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Adventure Guides are the perfect travel companion for the modern explorer. Whether you're looking to backpack around your home state or boost the number of stamps in your passport by traveling overseas, these books will heighten your travel experience.

Our team of knowledgeable authors offers comprehensive introductions that cover history, geography, climate, when to go, transportation, planning and culture. Region-by-region, the books then delve into the heart of the area, with driving tours and side trips to the best museums, historic sites and shops. But the focus is on activities, and you'll learn about the best spots for diving, snorkeling, horseback riding, hiking, biking, rock climbing and more. Extensive listings of recommended tour operators, too. Select places to stay and eat, as well as regional festivals and celebrations.

Hike some 166+ miles in Isle Royale National Park; take in the excitement of the Port Huron-to-Mackinac Island sailboat race; watch the wheels spin in the Tour de Michigan cycling marathon; spend a quiet afternoon canoeing on a pristine lake; or try some urban adventures in the cities. Year-round activities, detailed by resident authors. A destination rarely covered by guidebooks.

Synopsis:

Michigan offers a bounty of paddling destinations, and this book is the most complete and up-to-date guide available. Paddling Michigan includes more than 70 trips in both the Upper and Lower Peninsulas for beginner and expert paddlers alike. Classic rivers such as the Au Sable, the Manistee, and the Wild and Scenic Jordan River are included, as well as popular sea-kayaking destinations like Isle Royal National Park, Grand Island, and the Keweenaw Water Trail. Whether you want whitewater or flatwater, this book has it all. Maps show access points and landmarks, and are complemented by detailed written descriptions. Additional information on fishing, camping, and wildlife viewing is also included.
