Perrot State Park
A bluff-top state park at the confluence of the Mississippi and Trempealeau rivers, where Brady's Bluff overlooks the Mountain in the Water.
Perrot State Park lies about 35 kilometers northwest of La Crosse and is named after the 17th-century French explorer Perrot. Several trails climb limestone bluff tops such as Brady's Bluff, offering views over the Mississippi, the Trempealeau River, and Trempealeau Mountain, which is surrounded by river water and known to local Indigenous peoples as the Mountain in the Water. The park also has Indigenous burial mound sites. Canoeing is available in summer and cross-country skiing in winter. A Wisconsin State Park vehicle pass is required for entry.
