Doc Fletcher characterizes twenty-one navigable rivers to canoe or kayak throughout Michigan. As in his previous book, Weekend Canoeing in Michigan, Doc describes river hazards and landscapes, some cool history about the region and the best taverns for sipping a cold one after the river journey. Doc brings his own brand of humor to his narration, along with his crack research team who add to the fun with their River Quote witticisms.

Twenty rivers in Michigan are featured in detail for the weekend canoeist (novice to veteran). No canoe? No problem. Doc Fletcher gives information on area canoe liveries and writes a play-by-play account of his experience in the river leaving few hazards unmentioned. The rivers selected by Doc are less popular ones but are no less beautiful to canoe or kayak. Four of the rivers are in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and included is the Two Hearted River of Hemingway fame near Two Heart Michigan. Bonus information about nearby towns and local taverns makes this book fun to read, and the less paddled rivers exciting to explore.
