Patrick Lisi's 28-page Guide to Wisconsin's Waterfalls (1991, Wild Rivers Press) found its way into thousands of backpacks and automobile glove boxes, loved by travelers for its breathtaking color photos and clear directions to some of Wisconsin's most scenic spots. Now, Lisi has produced the ultimate guide to the state's waterfalls, an oversize 144-page book of full-color photos and more information than ever. This new book includes 95 full-color photos and descriptions of more than 80 falls, including some just across Wisconsin's borders into Minnesota and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Some, including those in state parks, are easily accessible, while others, hidden from all but the truly dedicated, can be reached only by water. This four-season guide tells how to see and enjoy them all. Lisi describes the area around each of the falls, giving the visitor all the information needed for a successful waterfall experience. Included are maps and clear directions for reaching the falls, and much helpful travel information. Lisi describes hiking and skiing trails, and gives information on camping, wheelchair access, fishing, picnicking, and toilet facilities. He also describes the best approaches to each of the falls for the ultimate view and enjoyment. Lisi also includes a section on calculating water flow, and tips on photographing waterfalls. Every outdoor enthusiast will treasure this handsome new guidebook, the first of its kind and scope for the state. The author: Patrick Lisi has been exploring Wisconsin waterfalls for more than two decades. A talented photographer and writer, he lives in Appleton, Wisconsin, with Marjorie Lisi, his wife and traveling companion.
