AMC: Publications - Updates to Published AMC Books

From time to time, information covered in our books may change in the field. For example, a trail may be relocated. Since a new edition of the book may not be immediately available, this page will regularly offer updates to our most popular AMC books. Bookmark this page and check here often, especially before heading out on a trip.

If you find that a route described in one of our guides has changed or a description contains an error, please send us an email.

Page 5, Trip 2, Shapleigh, Smarts, and Hansen Ponds: Please do not set into Shapleigh Pond via the access point indicated in the trip details and map as this is private property. Much of the land surrounding the ponds is private property, and those hoping to canoe or kayak in the area do not have permission to access these waterways via private property. Until we are able to verify the correct access point on public land, the AMC strongly suggests our readers conduct their outdoor activities in other areas.
