The plan is to upgrade the airport with a paved, 3000' runway to allow larger, two engine airplanes to land here. This project will make the area more attractive to big businesses who prefer to have an airport at their disposal. Back to the Top Nature's Playground A wide variety of natural resource recreation is available in and around the Borough. With the river nearby, boating and fishing are popular. It's known for its good small mouth bass fishing and has a good number of walleye, muskellunge and catfish as well as a variety of other fish.
Trout fishing is also very good in the creeks nearby and within a short drive.
Hunting is popular in this area, and Riverside offers some of the best turkey and white tailed deer hunting in the area. Ring necked pheasant populations have declined in the past few years, however rabbits and squirrels are plentiful as well as other small game. Due to the river, duck hunters harvest Mallard, Wood and Black ducks every season along with Canadian geese. The river also provides a haven for bird watchers. Ducks nest here during the spring and in the fall as they take a rest while migrating to the South.
