Things to do at Perrot State Park

Brady's Bluff Trail climbs a 500-foot bluff to a goat prairie summit with sweeping views of the Mississippi River and Trempealeau Mountain. The route is short but steep, with rock steps and exposed sections. Trailhead parking at the picnic area accommodates passenger vehicles; RVers should unhitch or use the main lot near the nature center.
- Perrot Ridge and Reed's Peak Trails ModerateRV parking available
These ridge-top trails traverse the upper bluffs and connect to overlooks of the river valley and Trempealeau Mountain. Expect rolling climbs through oak forest with several viewpoints. The trail system links back to the campground and picnic areas.

The Great River State Trail runs through the village of Trempealeau adjacent to the park, providing a flat, crushed-limestone route along the Mississippi flyway. Riders can roll from the park area toward Onalaska and other river towns. A state trail pass is required for cyclists age 16 and older.

Paddlers encounter quiet sloughs, marshes, and abundant bird life. Motorboat and canoe launching is available near the park office.
- Visit the Nature Center EasyRV parking available
The park's nature center offers exhibits on the cultural history of the Perrot area, including Native American mound-building cultures and the French fur trade tied to Nicolas Perrot. Ranger programs and trail information are available seasonally. Parking near the center can accommodate most tow vehicles with the trailer left at camp.
- Wildlife Viewing and Birding EasyRV parking available
The park sits along the Mississippi Flyway, one of North America's major migration corridors, making it a prime spot for spring and fall birding. Bald eagles, tundra swans, and waterfowl are commonly observed from overlooks and the river bottom. Spotting scopes are useful at bluff-top vistas.
- Fishing the Mississippi and Trempealeau Rivers EasyRV parking available
Anglers target bass, walleye, catfish, northern pike, and panfish in the river and adjacent backwaters. Shore fishing is available from the park's boat landing area, and small boats can launch from the ramp. A Wisconsin fishing license is required.

How to get to Perrot State Park
The park sits just west of the village of Trempealeau, about 25 miles northwest of La Crosse, Wisconsin (roughly a 35 to 40 minute drive). Winona, Minnesota is about 25 miles west, and the Twin Cities are roughly 160 miles northwest, a three hour drive via I-90 and US-61. Access is by paved county highways from WI-35 (the Great River Road), so there are no mountain passes or tunnels, but RVers should watch for narrow park entrance roads, low tree canopy in the campground, and steep grades on the internal road climbing toward the bluff overlook. La Crosse Regional Airport (LSE) is the closest commercial airport for fly-and-rent travelers.
