Central New York State. Mark Freeman, Series Editor. Alice Broberg and Dan Zwicke,

Club, Inc., Lake George, NY.
- Rich and Sue Freeman Guidebooks
 .
Comment: If you don't own copies of Rich and Sue Freeman's
guidebooks, you are missing out on the best places to hike, bike,
canoe, or tour in the Finger Lakes of Upstate New York and the Bruce
Trail in Canada. Their books are well written and their
directions easy to follow. Highly recommended.
