Roaring River is a fishing spot in Missouri, managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation and located about 4 miles from the town of Pasley. It is an easy outing, and several short trails start right around it, so it works well as a base for a day of fishing and walking. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cassville show May highs around 75°F and September highs around 80°F, while July and August average about 87°F. The closest trails are Fire Tower Trail, about 0.1 mile away, and Devils Kitchen Trail and River Trail, each about 0.2 mile off. For more time on the water, Eagle Rock, a lake fishing spot, lies about 7 miles away.
