The Wild River Guide to the North Landing River and its tributaries leads readers into the wild and undeveloped areas of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, Virginia, just minutes away from these cities. The North Landing River has been designated as a state scenic river and the canoeist or kayaker paddling into the feeder streams and marshes can expect to collect excellent memories of this unique area. Put-in/take-out points are described for the North Landing River and six of its major tributaries with directions and information on what to expect when you get there.

Author Lillie Gilbert brings into the book her canoeing/ kayaking expertise from many years of paddling these waterways while co-author Vickie Shufer provides her knowledge of the flora and fauna obtained from many years of leading outdoor groups and doing nature programs in the Tidewater area. As an added bonus, cultural and historical tidbits are added for your reading interest.
