Exploring the Hidden Charles

The Charles River is so much more than the city river that runs through Boston. For most of its meandering eighty miles, it flows through bucolic pastures, lush wooded canopies, towns and villages, coves, and places so secluded you feel you're the first to discover them. This guide leads lovers of the outdoors along the shores and down the waters of the Charles River with historical tales and personal anecdoes, plus: An easy-to-use recreation guide for each section of the river. Canoeing, kayaking, biking, and walking routes. Informative maps and directions. Resources for paddlers, hikers, bikers, anglers, and picnickers. Accounts from local experts who describe how the river has changed-from Native American times to the Revolutionary War era and on through the creation of Back Bay to modernday Boston.Tougias, Michael is the author of 'Exploring the Hidden Charles', published 2008 under ISBN 9780978576653 and ISBN 0978576659.
