**Location & Access:** Jack Oak Road provides public boat access to the Mississippi River in Cassville, Wisconsin (Pool 10), located on the Wisconsin (left/downstream) side of the river. This Upper Mississippi River Valley location sits between Lynxville, WI and Guttenberg, IA, offering access to a scenic stretch of this major waterway.
**River Conditions & Character:** Paddlers should be aware that the Mississippi River at this location is a large, powerful river with significant current. As a major waterway (Stream Order 10), it averages 11.24 feet/second velocity and carries substantial water volume. The river's gradient averages 0.8 feet/mile, creating steady, noticeable downstream flow. These conditions make this access point suitable for experienced boaters and paddlers familiar with larger river systems. Pool 10 offers scenic recreational opportunities typical of the Upper Mississippi River Valley.
**Planning Your Visit:** Before launching, check current water conditions and flow rates, as the Mississippi's powerful current and flow volume demand respect and preparation. This public access point is well-suited for motorboats, canoes, and kayaks, though paddlers should have appropriate skills for river paddling. Contact local Wisconsin DNR resources or the Corps of Engineers for current conditions, hours, and any facility details.
