A narrow arm of land surrounded by the sea, Cape Cod is dotted with ponds and lakes and cross-hatched by inlets, marshes, and bays. This abundance of salt and fresh water offers paddlers nearly unlimited opportunities to experience the rich aquatic life and beauty of the Cape. Paddling the Cape's waterways is the best way to see its wildlife and to understand the ever-changing forces of sand, tide, and wind that define this land-and it's the perfect way to escape the crowds. Natural history tour leaders Shirley and Fred Bull outline 35 trips for paddlers of all levels of experience that explore every corner of the Cape. Generously illustrated with photographs and drawings depicting the natural history of the region, this guide can also be used to learn more about the birds, plants, and other wildlife you will encounter as you paddle its waters. This comprehensive guide also includes: - a foreword by Nancy Church of the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History - 41 detailed maps - guidance on launch and access sites - information on tides and currents - tips on equipment, clothing, and safety - practical details on where and when to paddle

Industry Reviews

Shirley and Fred Bull. . . have written a book full of the information they've gleaned over the decades in their experiences canoeing and kayaking this peninsula's edges. --Gerree Hogan Trudeau
