Description

In spite of Oregon’s watery reputation, the state has lacked a field guide for its many celebrated rivers and streams – until now. Preeminent river conservationist, photographer, and writer Tim Palmer’s Field Guide to Oregon Rivers is an unprecedented reference that profiles 120 waterways during the state, from the Alsea to the Williamson. Field Guide to Oregon Rivers offers travelers, out of doors enthusiasts, and resource professionals an interpretive method to the state’s network of waterways. The book begins with a natural history of Oregon’s rivers – geology, climate, hydrology, plants, animals, and ecology. Then in ten chapters organized by watersheds, Palmer presents portraits of individual rivers, with a summary of its character, notes about its nature and fish, and comments about ongoing threats along side protection efforts. He points to opportunities for seeing the river, Mountain climbing along its shores, fishing, and exploring by canoe, kayak, raft, or flow boat. The guide concludes with a series of appendices addressing the Easiest River Running, the Easiest Mountain climbing Along Rivers, the Easiest Fishing, Oregon’s Finest Natural Rivers, and more. With fifty illustrations identifying common riparian plants and animals, and 150 of Palmer’s award-winning photographs showcasing the variety and grandeur of Oregon’s magnificent rivers estate, this volume is a perfect out of doors companion for all Oregonians and visitors to the state.
