The
Mississippi River rolls by Cassville as it has for thousands of years
and the locals spend much time on the river. Boating, whether it is
canoeing on the backwaters or speed boating on the main channel, is
a favorite past time. Visitors to the Cassville area can also canoe
or tube on the scenic Grant River. Fishing is also a relaxing way to
pass the time. Catfish, walleye, perch, bass, crappies, and blue gills
are all plentiful in the Mississippi. Cassville has a new handicap accessible
pier for all fishing enthusiasts to enjoy. Tackle, fishing licenses
and bait can be purchased in several places in the area.
Boat
docks are available for water enthusiasts. There is a wonderful new
boat launch at Riverside Park. A recent grant made the 2 new docks and
3 ramps possible. There are also 3 transient docks along the banks for
your boating pleasure. Showers and rest rooms are also available. Downtown
Cassville is within walking distance with its shops and eateries. The
area bed &
breakfasts and other lodging (Here we need to fix this
line to coincide with the lodging link-take out B & B) establishments
offer pick up service or convenient boat docks for visitors. Boat
rentals, tubing, and canoe rentals can be found in the
Cassville Area.
