From the Back Cover

Plan Your Next Adventure Now available in a completely revised edition, The Connecticut River Boating Guide continues to be the classic, authoritative guide for boaters, canoeists, and kayakers on the Connecticut River. This third edition covers the entire waterway from its source at the Canadian border to Long Island Sound, dividing the river into twenty-eight reaches with accompanying GPS-compatible maps. Practical information on boating facilities, ramps, access areas, mileages, difficulty, sources of flow information, and portages makes it easier than ever to plan your next adventure along the river.
Featuring:

This book was authored by, and published in cooperation with, the Connecticut River Watershed Council, the river's primary watchdog and steward. Council members John Sinton, Elizabeth Farnsworth, and Wendy Sinton thoroughly revised the guide, basing the new maps and text on their latest survey of the river and on the expertise of numerous local river experts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed Mile by Mile Guid to Connecticut River
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2007
Verified Purchase
This is a detailed mile by mile guide to the Connecticut River, breaking the river up into a series of 28 reaches (1 reach per chapter). There are maps for each reach with sufficient lat/lon indicators to enable interpolation for GPS waypoints.

River conditions from flatwater to Class IV whitewater are covered in detail as are campsites, sightseeing/sidetrip opportunities and major landmarks along the river, plus a bit of history.

As a 'boating' guide, it is probably most useful to paddlers in canoes or kayaks, or perhaps rafts/inflatables. Access points, particularly formal and informal access points for cartop boats, are covered in text and on the maps.

The thick, coated cover of the book is excellent quality, will handle some spray, and the page edges are rounded to avoid fraying/splaying -- making this guide suitable for on-river use.

5.0 out of 5 stars more than a guide
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2009
Verified Purchase
The guide contains clear, accurately detailed descriptions of launch points often known only to local folks. The only item canoeists need to research is the amount of relief (vertical drop) at "car-top-craft" launch sites. Often sites that lack "ramp" designation present difficult entry conditions. I don't fault the guide as these conditions change with season and from year to year.

I found the description of geography and social, agricultural, and industrial history interesting; well beyond the chamber-of-commerce level. The geological history of the Connecticut Valley is the best I have ever read. It is accurate, inclusive, and understandable and will add to the enjoyment of your cruise or expedition. You'll get more than launch sites from this excellent guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some inaccuracies
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2011
Verified Purchase
This is a good guide for those with a yen to paddle the Connecticut. However, some of the descriptions are either outdated, or just plain inaccurate. For example, at Mile 272, you will come to Dodge Falls/Ryegate Paper Company Dam. The book states: "Caution: Do not run these falls unless you aren experienced paddler and have scouted the stretch." This really should read: "Caution: Do not run these falls unless you are 1) suicidal or 2) interested in violating several federal laws." There is a concrete drop of about 20 feet off this Dam. The portage does look like it has been altered to route through the campground, so it is now longer than the book states. The water beyond Dodge Falls is also not swift. This may simply be a matter of discrepancy in the time of year. In the spring, it certainly could be swift. In August, it's a nice long, slow paddle.

The key advice it to scout any area you are unsure of. Very solid advice.

In general, however, this guide is unrivaled in detail, history, and good mileage descriptions.

If you are interested in the primitive camps along the river, check out the Connecticut River Paddlers Trail website.

Happy paddling!

I bought this for my boyfriend who wants to take his boat down the Connecticut River. He loves this book and he is not a book person. It really has all the information he was looking for and needs to plan this trip, his friends all want to borrow it, and read it when they come over here.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have resource
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2014

Any person looking to paddle any section of the Connecticut River should read this book and take copious notes before setting out. Of course rivers are very much alive, never expect this book to replace empirical first person observation, but it is a hell of a place to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a good book for people who are not familiar with the ...
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is a good book for people who are not familiar with the CT River and would like to take one of the trips outlined in the book. It gives mile by mile descriptions of conditions (2007) and things you can expect to see along with photos of landmarks and points of interest you might like to seek out. However, I was disappointed that as a guide book it didn't list more of the many launch sites. I found additional launch info online so it's not that it isn't out there; it would be nice to find such info in this guide book though. I would like a guide book to present me with all or most of the options available to me without my having to look elsewhere for the info. This 3rd edition is dated 2007 so I would also caution that there might be outdated info listed as well? It is a good overall resource for people not familiar with this river.

The guide was exactly what my boys needed to plan a canoe trip from Vermont to Connecticut. Campsites, portages and put in places worked out well. Highly recommended.
