Lacrosse River State Trail

Wisconsin Home | Wisconsin Sitemap
Lacrosse was formerly a logging town and the adjoining river was an important port for new settlers. The logging has stopped and the town remains tiny, but it now serves as a sort of natural memorial to those accelerated and exhausted times. Now an ideal spot for bicycling and snowmobiles to knife through the wooded path, the former railroad is rich with foliage in summer and blanketed healthily with snow in the winter. Twenty-two miles of track snake through wetlands, farmlands and bubbling trout streams.
