When I first purchased my boat I received a copy of Foghorn Outdoors California Recreational Lakes and Rivers: The Complete Guide to Boating, Fishing, and Water Sports (Foghorn Outdoors) from my in laws as a birthday present.  At this point I have read the book cover to cover and I can wholeheartedly recommend this book for any serious California boater.  In fact, next weekend I will be making my first trip based on the recommendations of this book.

Several friends and I will be heading to Lake Sonoma for a boat in camping weekend.  Lake Sonoma is the #4 boat in camping location California (behind Tahoe, Shasta, and Bullards Bar.)  Don't worry faithful reader there will be a post covering this event.

In addition, to listing every lake and river in California on which you can perform recreation, it gives amenities and what to expect and what times of year.

In short, if you have a boat or like to camp get this book.
