Mountain Soaking in Water

The village of Trempealeau sits on high rolling banks at the edge of the Mississippi River, smack in the center of a stretch of the Great River Road, voted one of the ten most scenic drives in America. A broad prairie stretches from the village to the east, scoured by the restless meanders of the ancient Black, Trempealeau, La Crosse, and Mississippi rivers. A giant marsh and seven lakes surround the village which, thanks to its natural scenic beauty and abundant wetland resources has become a Mecca for a variety of recreational activities.
