title: A Paddler's Guide to the Rivers of Ontario and Quebec
author:  Kevin Callan 
description: This guide will have you well prepared. (<i>MENZ Magazine</i>)<br /><br />If moving water is something new to you [this] is an excellent introduction. Many of the routes are suitable for novices. (<i>Bushwacker's Wilderness Journal</i>)<br /><br />Considerable information for interesting canoe trips... numerous color photographs complement the informative text and easy-to-read maps. (N. Glenn Perrett <i>Simcoe County The Explorer</i>)<br /><br />[Callan's] writing has the same qualities as all good travel writing: the reader enjoys his stories for their own sake... But if you are planning a canoe trip, you'll appreciate his detailed maps and annotated route itineraries. (Linda Turk <i>Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal</i> 2003-07-13)
