Westwater Books is the proud publisher of Belknap’s Waterproof River Guides—the original and most trusted river maps for navigating the American West’s most iconic waterways. Since 1969, our durable, full-color river guides have helped thousands of boaters explore the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, the Green and Yampa Rivers in Dinosaur National Monument, the Colorado and Green Rivers and Cataract Canyon through Canyonlands National Park, and Desolation and Gray Canyons on the Green River.
Each guidebook features mile-by-mile river maps highlighting campsites, rapids, side hikes, historical sites, and geological landmarks. Designed for both private trips and commercial outfitters, Belknap’s guides are waterproof, tear-resistant, and built to withstand the rigors of multi-day expeditions.
What sets these guides apart? In addition to clear, easy-to-read topographic maps, each book includes sections on geology, ecology, and cultural history—making your trip not just safer, but far more enriching. Whether you're floating the Colorado River, the Yampa River or the Green River, these guides provide the critical information you need to plan, navigate, and fully enjoy your adventure.
Belknap’s guides are updated regularly and trusted by outfitters, guides, and river enthusiasts across the country. Don’t launch without one—they’re more than maps; they’re essential tools for discovery.
