Book Recommendations

by Ozark Mountain Paddlers on August 30, 2009

Probably the most common questions we get submitted are “….I’m planning a trip….what’s the [insert river name here] like on [insert section here]?”

Missouri Ozark Waterways by Oz Hawksley

 

The best thing we can recommend to our members is that they pick up a copy of both of these books.  You’ll spend less than $20 for both of them and then you will have all the information we have, outside of a few personal stories.  The books will provide:

  • maps with access road information
  • descriptions of the rivers at different levels
  • cautionary information relating to rapids, access, etc.
  • and more…

You can purchase this book locally at Ozark Adventures and Dynamic Earth.  There may be a few other places, too, including Bass Pro Shops.  If you’re really getting into paddling, these books will prove to be a loyal companion.
