In this updated edition of his classic Field Guide to Oregon Rivers, Tim Palmer gives us an unprecedented reference, introducing the state’s waterways and offering outdoor enthusiasts and resource professionals an interpretive approach to an extraordinary network of streams. He begins with natural history—geology, climate, hydrology, plants, and wildlife—then profiles 111 Oregon rivers with notes about nature, fish, and conservation, followed by essential tips on where to see each river, hike along the shores, fish, and explore by canoe, kayak, and raft. Illustrations identify riparian plants and animals while more than 150 photographs showcase a magnificent rivers estate. This volume is an essential outdoor companion for Oregonians and visitors alike.

Tim Palmer has explored, photographed, and written about rivers for more than forty years. Paddler magazine named him among the “10 greatest river conservationists of our time” and one of the “100 greatest paddlers of the past century.” His honors include the National Outdoor Book Award, Lifetime Achievement Award from American Rivers, and Conservation Achievement Award from the National Wildlife Federation. www.timpalmer.org
