The Grant River flows into the Mississippi at Potosi Point, the Grant River Recreation Area. The campground and recreation property is operated by the Corps of Engineers and offers ideal bird watching opportunities. The Grant River is well-known as an excellent stream for canoeing and fishing. Local businesses rent canoeing, kayaking and tubing equipment. Lead mining history, camping, hunting, fishing, canoeing, snowmobiling, plus the beautiful landscape all serve to make "The Catfish Capital of Wisconsin" a natural attraction.
