Summary: A true CLASSIC
Comment: The maps in this book are worth the purchase price alone.
The book was origionally published in the mid 1970s, so some of the information about put in and take out points is out of date. The rivers and streams themselves have changed very little, so the detailed maps in the book will give you a blow-by-blow description of what to expect on you adventure.
While there is a lot of information about the Cahaba River, none of the other Alabama rivers and streams are neglected...the Cahaba River is just a great river to canoe, and it rightfully claims an appropriate amount of space in the book.
I purchased this book before I ever baught a canoe, and it has helped me to enjoy trips down the Cahaba Rive, the Sipsey Fork, the Little Fork, and the Mulberry Fork to name a few.
If you own a canoe and live in Alabama (or are just interested in the subject), BUY THIS BOOK.

Summary: Misnamed Book
Comment: This book should be named Cahaba River Canoe Rides & Float Trips. It focuses primarily on the Cahaba and deals little with the rest of the state. We were disappointed and are still looking for a good book on canoeing the entire state of Alabama.

Summary: If you own a canoe and live in Alabama, BUY THIS
Comment: In this book, Foshee gives scouting reports of many rivers and creeks in Alabama. It includes maps to put ins and take outs, and brief comments on difficulty of put in and take out. Also included are distances of each section of each river reviewed as well as river maps showing the "big stuff." For each section, Foshee describes possible problem areas. These are very helpful in planning a trip and can save you from exposure to numerous hazards. In each section, Foshee gives brief descriptions about scenery.
The only problem with this book is that many of the road maps are outdated. Some put ins and take outs are no longer accessible while many areas now have better ins and outs than those in the book. And many road names have changed since the book was written. Despite being a little outdated, maps are still very helpful, espcially when used along with a more detailed topo map. Of course, the river maps pretty much still apply becuase many of the rivers haven't changed all that much.
This book will help you find new places to go and will help determine distances of trips. Anybody who goes canoeing in Alabama should own this.
