Feel like sea kayaking with seals in the ocean waters around Acadia National Park? How about cycling the lonely backroads of Martha's Vineyard? Or hiking on the only mountains on the Atlantic coast north of Brazil? Keep on reading. Perhaps you're wondering if there's a beach on the Cape Cod National Seashore that isn't wall-to-wall people in summer, if you can charter a sailboat in Rhode Island and cruise to Block Island, or if there's a deep-woods walk in Connecticut, within an hour of New York City. You'll find what you're looking for within the pages of New England Seacoast Adventures (W.W. Norton).

Frommer's Great Outdoor Guide to New England

[more information]

"One of the best ski guides I have ever read is Stephen Jermanok's Great Outdoor Guide to New England, and the book isn't even a ski guide - it's a complete guide to all outdoor activities in New England. What makes Jermanok's book so good is his style. In describing Mad River Glen, his very first paragraph captures the essence of the place in three short sentences: Rustbucket Subaru wagons with Vermont license plates often have a bumper sticker offering the following dare: "Mad River Glen: Ski It If You Can." No lie. Mad River Glen is the nastiest lift-served ski area in the East, a combination of rocks, ice, trees - and snow; of course. It's truly a place where skiing seems a little removed from a mountain's gnarled, primal state." www.dcski.com, September 3, 2000

Outside Magazine's Adventure Guide to New England

"If John Muir had written a guidebook, it might have been much like Outside magazine's new Adventure Guides." Diversion, November 1996

"The range of activities in these guides are impressive, covering everything from good bird-watching locations to mountain biking trails to the toughest mountain peaks to climb." United Airlines' Hemispheres, October 1996

Like paying coach to fly first class!
Entertaining as well as informative. My wife and I could hardly wait to try the next place on Mr. Jermanok's list of activities. Rudy no doubt took Mr. Jermanok by the hand! Bravo. (review from www.amazon.com)

Undoubtedly the finest book on outdoor recreation in New England
Undoubtedly the finest book on outdoor recreation in New England. Mr. Jermanok's highly opinionated writing style will make you laugh and, most importantly, direct you to the right location. We've taken many of his hikes, bike rides, and canoe trips and found them all to be wonderful! He's done a thorough job researching New England and it shows. Very few other people except locals know these special outdoor areas exist. (review from www.amazon.com)
