Looking for trip guide

[We Will Two]

Does anybody know of a trip guide (marina to marina type) down the river from cincinnati to Florida? I am looking to plan for gas and overnight stops etc. Looking for book or internet guide type thing.

Thanks

I think your list is all the east coast ICW, Bill1, whereas he's gonna be coming down the Ohio, the Mississippi and the Tom Bigbee Waterway. And stuff like that.

The Ohio River Guidebook looks to be the best book about the Ohio River. You can see a preview here,

Good luck.

Also plan an extra several hours at Markland Dam in Warsaw, it sounds like it is pretty backed up there after the "catastrophic failure" of one of the dam lock doors.
