Riverside Park

If you approach Cassville by boat, the first view of Cassville will include our Riverside Park. It is has been a favorite site for many visitors through the years. Native Americans placed an effigy mound in the shape of a bald eagle in what is now Riverside Park. Large steam powered paddle wheelers in the 1800's tied up to the large mooring rings along the park. In the 1800's, visitors would take dinner cruises to Cassville that culminated with a dance in the Denniston House ballroom. You can still see one of the mooring rings almost directly across from the Denniston House. Now visitors and locals take advantage of the shelters, children's playground equipment, launching ramps, RV pumpout station at the the south end of the park, grills, boat docks, basketball court, restrooms with showers, and the newly built Wildlife Observation Deck.
