RECREATION

 

  •  When Fish Fly and Eagles Swim joins our new piece on FLYING CARP… both deal with a surge in exotic carp spreading through the Upper Mississippi River.
  •  Houseboating is a topic of great interest on greatriver.com. Join us as we cruise on the Upper Mississippi!  Houseboats offered by rental services are pretty similar. We have two stories that you will enjoy:  Summer cruise with an “accommodations” emphasis or October cruise with a “river” emphasis.
  • Fall is apple harvest time, from Lake Pepin to Calhoun County, Illinois, and one of the most interesting apple areas is Gays Mills, Wisconsin, just north and east of Prairie du Chien. Check out our new feature, Gays Mills and the Kickapoo River Watershed.
  • Planning a bike trip on the Elroy-Sparta National Bike Trail? Nearly 140 miles of state bike trails meander the varied terrain of Minnesota and Wisconsin’s “Coulee Country.”
  • Native Indian artifacts, Early European settlement and a plethora of military forts combine to make the Mississippi River Valley rich in artifacts and collectibles. “One Man’s Treasure” explores treasure hunting in the river valley.
