Giving it 5 stars because it is the ONLY book on the subject I ever found, though I sure looked hard. Gives length and difficulty of hike when appropriate. As I have arthritis, this is important, though I plan to see all. I had this book many years ago, but through several moves it disappeared. Anyway, it presents all the factual data you need, plus a tiny bit og opinion/background/history. And I mean tiny. Perfect mix for my taste. Appears to be long out of print, so I'm buying a used copy. I need to build myself up after a long convalescence, so I'm going to order them by distance from parking, and set a goal of seeing/fishing every one! I think the biggest hike is about 5 miles uphill, if I remember, but a lot are no hike. If you love water and outdoors, I highly recommend it, as many of the lakes, some ponds, really, appear in no other source. Thanks
