Exploring the Hidden Charles: A Guide to Outdoor Activities on Boston's Celebrated River - Softcover

The Charles River is so much more than the city river that runs through Boston. For most of its meandering 80 miles, it flows through bucolic pastures, lush wooded canopies, towns and villages, coves, and places so secluded you'll feel you're the first to discover them! This thoroughly revised and expanded guide leads outdoors lovers along the shores and down the waters of the Charles River with historical tales and personal anecdotes, plus an easy-to-use recreation guide for each section of the river; canoeing and kayaking, biking, and walking routes; informative maps and directions; resources for paddlers, hikers, bikers, anglers, and picnickers; suggested outings and descriptive photographs; accounts from local experts who describe how the river has changed - from Native American settlement, to the Revolutionary War, to the creation of Back Bay and modern Boston.
