Thanks to all the people with whom I floated a Florida river while researching this book: John Cox and Karen Stokes for paddling the St. Marys, Chris Phillips on the Suwannee, Aaron Marabel on the Santa Fe, Brian Babb on the Tomoka, Kevin Thomas on the Shoal and the Yellow, Wes Shepherd on the Ochlockonee and Sopchoppy. A special thanks to Holly Berman for getting on too many rivers to mention and camping out night after night after night. Thanks to Old Town for providing me with an excellent canoe and kayak, to Eureka! for their fine tents, and to Silva for a reliable compass. Thanks to Lisa Daniel and Steve Devo Grayson for hitting the Everglades on numerous occasions, and Tom Take-a-Break Lauria, too. And thanks to Hans Hollmann and Jeff Cochran of Miramar for accompanying me down the Peace River. Thanks to John and Barb Haapala for being the best campground hosts ever. Thanks to Miss Helen on Fisheating Creek, to the Clearwater Seven and their offspring for floating the Weeki Wachee with me, and to Bill Worldwide Armstrong for floating Turner River. Thanks to Roger and Pete for floating down to and then giving me a ride on the Wacissa, to Jim Bob Cooter for floating the Estero, to Vivian Snook Oliva for loving paddling places all over the country, and to Meredith for providing a refuge and a friendly face. Much appreciation to Elizabeth Carter and the editors at Menasha Ridge Press for their assistance and skill in updating this edition. Finally, thanks to all the outfitters who ran shuttles and answered a lot of irritating questions.

Florida has a lot of sand, but it also has a lot of waterand not just for drinking. Its only natural that native Floridians and transplants alike paddle and ply the waterways of this aquatically blessed state. Of course, Floridas native Indians and subsequent settlers used the creeks, streams, and rivers long before the first plastic kayak or fiberglass canoe took to this watery paradise. In the early 1970s, the state of Florida established a canoe-trail system, which was born out of paddlers discovering the many destinations here. For various reasons, this state-sanctioned trail system lost momentum. Building on the states efforts and adding their own discoveries, paddling enthusiasts Elizabeth F. Carter and John L. Pearce brought together the rich and varied streams, creeks, and rivers of Florida. Together, they penned the original version of portions of this book, A Canoeing & Kayaking Guide to the Streams of Florida, Volume I. Their book covered the north-central part of the state as well as the Panhandle. I used this excellent book for years on almost every river it detailed, never dreaming I would get the opportunity to update and add to it. This was followed by A Canoeing & Kayaking Guide to the Streams of Florida, Volume II, written by Lou Glaros and Doug Sphar. Their book covered the southern half of the state, waterways not included in Volume I. Paddling grew steadily in Florida due in part to these excellent guidebooks, establishment of paddling clubs, positioning of outfitters on rivers, and population growth. More people explored new waterways, not only in new kayaks made of varied plastic but also ultra-lightweight canoes easy to paddle and transport. More recently, a rise in the use of recreational kayaks has led to a rebirth of paddlings popularity.
