Great River Trail

The south end is at the intersection with the La Crosse River Trail at a parking lot off of County Highway B east of WIS 16 in Medary at the former Winona Junction.

It provides visitors with easy access to the Nicholls Hopewell Mound, the Perrot State Park, and the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge.
