Treasure on the Mississippi 

The Cassville area is known for its panoramic views and one of the best ways to see the Mississippi is to hike in one of the area's parks. Nelson Dewey State Park offers hiking, bird watching and nature trails.  

You can also see some of the Indian mounds left by Native Americans circa 600-1300 A.D. The views from the park overlooking the Mississippi River Valley can only be described as breathtaking.  Visit the Native Prairie area of Nelson Dewey State Park while you are hiking.  Colorful wildflowers and remnants of the stone walls Nelson Dewey had built on his estate can be found in this area. 

The Roe Preserve is a newly acquired wildlife and nature conservancy through the Mississippi River Conservancy, the Wisconsin's DNR and donations by Lawrence Roe.  This 244 acre area will have hiking trails along the river and up on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River.  Guided hikes are periodically offered and will be listed on this website as we are made aware of them.

Visitors to Cassville can also enjoy the hiking trails of nearby state parks -- Wyalusing, Pike's Peak State Park and Effigy Mounds Park.
