In this first-ever book devoted entirely to the Adirondack Park's myriad waters, Mark Bowie presents a stunning portfolio of waterscapes in images and word. It is a celebration of the diverse beauty that defines the region, lending it a distinctive look and feel. Since before the heyday of the guide and the grand hotel, Adirondack waters have inspired painters, poets, musicians, and adventurers. The waters have provided recreational and spiritual rejuvenation for millions of visitors. Adirondack waters reflect the very soul of the northern forest - a timeless, sacred landscape of wild beauty and intrigue. Experience them afresh through the eyes of a master landscape photographer. See the twilight theatrics of clouds reflected in quiet pools. Drift across the glassy surfaces of island-studded lakes to remote beaches.

Carry over glacial eskers and put-in backwoods ponds, where reflections run deep and boreal bogs recall a primeval past. Follow the corked channel of a wandering river, where around each bend, new vistas are revealed. Adirondack waters are forever changing, forever enchanting.
