Let the names of Florida's rivers and coastal waters roll off your
tongue: Ocklawaha, Chassahowitzka, Suwannee, Waccasassa, Aucilla,
Wacissa, Sopchoppy, Withlachoochee, Loxahatchee, Homosassa,
Pithlachascotee, Econfina, Kissimmee... If you've paddled these
waters in a canoe or kayak, the Native American place names evoke
winding streams and shaded hammocks, shimmering coastal waters and
wild tree islands. Florida is made for paddling. "Wild Florida
Waters" places Florida's unsurpassed beauty and abundant wildlife
in the forefront, from the mangrove labyrinth of the Ten Thousand
Islands to the springfed Ichetucknee River. It also includes an
exciting dose of paddling adventures, whether it's tipping over in
the Suwannee River's Big Shoals rapids, surfing wind-generated
waves while paddling the remote Apalachee Bay, or meeting up with a
different form of "wild life" on a scenic waterway. Through all of
the adrenalin, a strong conservation message permeates the volume,
and useful how-to information is included at the end of each
chapter. "A celebration of a part of Florida most visitors-and many
residents-never see, a celebration of what old-timers call the real
Florida." --Warren Richey, author of "Without a Paddle: Racing
Twelve Hundred Miles Around Florida by Sea Kayak" "It is past time
somebody wrote a book of this caliber. A treasure trove of
information for nature enthusiasts." --Bill Richards, Executive
Director, Paddle Florida "His blend of history and personal
anecdotes is both entertaining and enlightening." --Tom McLaulin,
president, Florida Paddling Trails Association
