The signature drink at our RV campground & marina on the Missouri River is a summertime favorite that we bet you've all been missing over the long winter! When you say, " I'll have a Watermelon ," at The Cottonwood Cove , everyone around here knows you aren't talking about a slice of melon, but rather the amazing drink our place has become known for.  Even though our vacation destination in the Midwest isn't open for the season yet, we do have lots of weekend events coming up this month at which our Watermelons will be flowing. Just in case you haven't had the pleasure, yet, let us introduce you to this delicious drink.  Home of the Watermelon In January of 1992, George Rybin, son of the owners of The Cottonwood Cove at the time and the future owner himself, went on a Carribean cruise.

The excellent location of our RV campground & marina on the Missouri River puts us in the perfect position to enjoy all kinds of different outdoor activities. One of these, in particular, is fishing in that river which we lovingly like to refer to as the "longest lake in the state." The Cottonwood Cove is very familiar with a group of people that specialize in this sport - The Bowfishers of Nebraska. (BON)  What is BON? Bowfishing, in case you are unfamiliar with this sport, is a method of fishing that uses specialized archery equipment to shoot and retrieve fish. The fish are shot with a barbed arrow that is attached with a special line to a reel mounted on the bow.   BON is made up of a wonderful group of people that are dedicated to protecting, advancing, and preserving the sport of bowfishing and its resources.
