This highly entertaining guidebook continues where Up the Creek left off. Kevin Callan's latest collection of canoe routes takes us on 20 river trips through the wilds of Ontario and Quebec. Callan is one of the foremost authorities on canoeing the lakes and rivers in our watery part of the continent, but he's that rare ah-shucks expert who gives you the best information, spins a wild-but-true story, yet doesn't have to be the hero of his own tale -- though he's always a character. He's the kind of guy you want leading your trip.

Review:

This guide will have you well prepared. (MENZ Magazine)

If moving water is something new to you [this] is an excellent introduction. Many of the routes are suitable for novices. (Bushwacker's Wilderness Journal)

[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 Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal 2003-07-13)

Considerable information for interesting canoe trips... numerous color photographs complement the informative text and easy-to-read maps. (N. Glenn Perrett Simcoe County The Explorer)
