Florida's rivers comprise a tapestry of natural wonders. They lend character to the regions through which they pass. They offer superb scenery and exciting recreational opportunities. Florida's rivers played a key roll in the state's history, from the Spanish explorations, through the Seminole Wars, into the modern era. Even their names - Apalachicola, Caloosahatchee, Ocklawaha, Suwannee, Withlacoochee - evoke images of the state's rich cultural heritage.

This book provides a detailed profile of every significant river in the state. No other sources provides such comprehensive coverage. This book features more than two hundred color photographs of waterways, fish, and wildlife. It also includes sixty river-system maps. Anglers, history buffs, nature enthusiasts, boaters, and others will find great value in its contents. It will acquaint the reader with waterways that so many people depend on, but so few really know.
