Cascade Township Canoe Landing
Did you know one of Minnesota’s state water trails runs through Cascade Township? It’s the Zumbro River State Water Trail.
In 2017, Cascade Township received a donation from Dover Firefighters Relief Association to build a canoe launch on the Zumbro River. Late 2017, the Cascade Township Canoe Landing was created and opened to the public. The Canoe Landing is located off the 75th Street Bridge; off street parking is available to those utilizing the landing. Rules regarding its use and hours of operation are stated below:
