Quiet Water New Jersey, 2nd: Canoe and Kayak Guide (AMC Quiet Water Series)

I want to explore these waters this summer and feel that this guide is extensive enough for me to know what to do, how to pack and what to watch for when I go.

This resource guide makes trips to these lakes easier for paddlers ,like me, that do not live in the immediate area of these waters.
Thanks & Good Job

Although the descriptions of the listings are somewhat short and the b&w photographs for each site don't do them justice, this is a fairly comprehensive listing of NJ flatwater sites. The guide also includes some nice smaller lakes.

The guidebook is great in providing paddlers with all they need to get to each site and see for themselves the beauty that NJ offers to those who kayak and canoe.

Grab this book and your paddle and get on the water!

I bought Kathy Kenley's book as a novice paddler who needed guidance to explore the lakes of southern New Jersey. It has been everything I hoped it would be. The descriptions are right on, and the directions to access points are perfect. While I cannot personally speak for the accuracy of information north of Burlington County, I have personally used it for information on about half the listed lakes in the south, and have yet to be misdirected in any way. I expect it is equally valid and valuable up north. This is a "must have" for anyone wishing to enjoy the pleasures of canoing or kayaking on lakes and bays in the Garden State.

A more appropriate title should have been Still Waters...... as the author only deals with lakes and ponds, and not that many of them. More than just for the beginners this book is for the completely dumb that can't read a map.
