RECREATION
The Kaskaskia River offers many recreational opportunities - both water and land based.  There are two marinas on the river - Kaskaskia Riverhouse  and the Evansville Marina where the Water Street Inc is located.  Boating, fishing, skiing, birdwatching are popular activities in addition to the Kaskaskia River State Fish and Wildife Area with over 20,000 acres to enjoy.  Nearby is the World Shooting and Recreational Complex just north of Sparta.
