McMartin's guidebooks are a must for both the newcomer and the experienced outdoors person. This guide to Adirondack flatwater canoeing on lakes, ponds, and quiet streams and rivers is the second in her series geared to both the young adventurer and the adult novice. It contains descriptions of places to learn to canoe and covers all the flatwater stretches on Adirondack rivers and streams, except those that require camping or long carries.
