The Castor is not a perpetual flow river, and is only navigable in or near flood stage conditions which occur shortly after significant rain events pound the surrounding drainage basin.
The Castor River is also very near the Saint Francis and Black Rivers, both of which are probably navigable anytime the Castor has adequate flow for paddling.

 Catch
Someone apparently dumped some spotted bass in the Osage River prior to 1940, and by the early 1940's they were well established in the upper Osage and in the lake.
By the late 1950's spotted bass were common in the Moreau River, and they were shown to be hybridizing extensively with smallmouth bass in that stream.
Then, starting in 1962, the Missouri Conservation Department began stocking spotties in several streams flowing into the Missouri River from the north, and they were soon common in the Lamine and Perche, which flow into the Missouri upstream from the Osage, and the Loutre rivers.

Before a settlement was established on the Mississippi within the Iimits of the present county of Cape Girardeau, this stretch of the river was designated on the old maps as "Cap Girardot," and so known to the voyaguers passing up and down the river.
The road along the river was then called "Rue de Charette." Above Cousin's residence in 1799 there were located near the river, according to tradition, the trading houses of Steinback and Reinecke, Michael Quinn and perhaps others, all American traders doing business here.
The first settlers on the upper portion of Castor river, just where the river empties its waters into Mingo Bottom, where the village of Zalma is now situated, was Urban Asherbramer (Aschenbrenner or Aschenbrauner); who settled there in 1800 and erected a water-mill to grind corn.

In spring 2000, Grand Canyon wildlife biologists took advantage of a scheduled decrease in the river’s flow to conduct the first furbearer survey along the Colorado River from Lee’s Ferry to Pearce Ferry.
The resulting data are being compiled for inclusion in a feasibility study for reintroduction of the river otter into Grand Canyon National Park, which the park hopes to complete by 2002.
