La Crosse River Trail

It is designated as a multiuse trail, offering recreational access to the routes, and is open to the public.

It is one of four connecting bike trails in west-central Wisconsin that spans approximately one-third of the state.

The trail headquarters is located in a historic depot in Sparta and is open from May 1 through October 31.

Camping, lodging, food, parking, bike rentals and information are available at many points along the trail.

The trail is constructed upon the abandoned Chicago and North Western Railway railroad bed.
