Steve's new version of Paddling the Payette is an excellent guidebook for paddlers looking to explore scenic Class I-II water, play boaters looking for primo play spots and everything in between. The easy-to-read river maps and concise mile-by-mile descriptions make this book an invaluable reference. We highly recommend it.
