Wisconsin's 44 state trails are part of a park system that welcomes more than 20 million visitors every year. Right here in our backyard, the 24-mile Great River State Trail offers some of the most scenic biking, walking, running, and wildlife viewing in the Coulee Region.

Whether you're logging your morning miles, enjoying a family bike ride, or simply taking in the beauty of the Mississippi River Valley, every trip is a reminder of why these trails are so special.

📸 We'd love to see where the trail takes you! Share your favorite Great River State Trail photo in the comments.

🌿 COOL TRAIL FACT #5 🌿

Did you know the limestone used on many Wisconsin trails formed millions of years ago when ancient seas covered this region?

Today, that same limestone helps create the smooth trail surface enjoyed by walkers, runners, and cyclists. 🪨🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️

Ancient seas. Modern adventures. 💚

Looking for a beautiful place to start your ride? 🚴🌿

The Trempealeau Trailhead is the perfect starting point for exploring the Great River State Trail. Located just as you enter Trempealeau from Holmen on Highway 35, you'll find convenient parking, restrooms, picnic tables, and a gazebo before you even begin your ride.

Just beyond the trailhead, you'll have the opportunity to see the historic Nicholls Hopewell Mound, then continue across several scenic bridges. About halfway down this section of the trail, take a break at the picnic table and bench overlooking the peaceful marsh, where you can often spot birds, wildlife, and beautiful aquatic plants.

Trail Update: Riding toward Midway? You'll need to turn around after about 2½ miles due to the Tank Creek bridge closure, but there's still plenty of beautiful trail to enjoy in the opposite direction.
