Quiet water paddling is like taking a "nature walk on water"-a journey of discovery for any canoeist or kayaker. From the Adirondacks to the western plateau and south to Long Island, the waterways of New York are some of the best in the Northeast.

The AMC Quiet Water Canoe Guide: New York explores a carefully assembled collection of lakes and ponds with close-up nature observations and paddling information. Authors John Hayes and Alex Wilson provide complete how-to and where-to information for more than 100 scenic destinations:

• Descriptions of each lake and pond, with illustrations, photographs, and maps
• An exploration of the natural world in and around water
• Paddling routes and interesting sites
• Local picnicking and camping information
• Detailed driving, parking, and canoe put-in directions
• Safety and equipment tips
• Illustrated in-depth nature essays on selected New York wildlife

"New York, among its many attractions, is a flat water paddler's paradise. Our heavy rainfall, and myriad wrinkles, creases, and gentle valleys make this one of the most watery corners of the continent; finally we have a guide to help us explore its secrets."
-Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and Hope, Human and Wild

John Hayes is an avid paddler, naturalist, and professor of biochemistry and environmental science at Marlboro College in Vermont. Alex Wilson has spent five years investigating quiet water for the Appalachian Mountain Club. His three previous volumes covered Maine, New Hampshire/Vermont, and Massachusetts/Connecticut/Rhode Island.
