Description

This guidebook to the Charles River shows that it is much more than the city river that runs through Boston. For most of its meandering 80 miles, it flows through bucolic pastures, lush wooded canopies, towns and villages, covers, and places so secluded they seem undiscovered.

Reviews

"If you're interested in the river that helps give greater Boston its identity, you must read this book. It's everything a good guidebook should be--lucid, entertaining, and informative. You'll learn where to find the best boat ramps, the widest marshes, the quietest trails, and the hottest fishing spots, and some fascinating local history along the way! --William Martin, author, "Back Bay" and "Cape Cod"
