Daniel also provides information on access, legal navigability, and safety issues. The guide is arranged according to river drainages: Trinity, Brazos, Colorado, Guadalupe -- San Antonio -- Nueces, and Rio Grande. Drawing on his experience and that of other whitewater enthusiasts, Daniel offers a detailed and entertaining account of rivers and creeks with the greatest prospects for whitewater, encouraging paddlers to explore lesser-known runs. He includes tips on obtaining information on water levels via the Internet and stream-flow data locations. Also included is the first published legal summary on the navigability of state waterways, prepared by Texas Assistant Attorney General Joe Riddell.
