Great River State Trail-Lytle's to Trempealeau

The 6 mile stretch from Lytle's Landing to Trempealeau, WI covers the bottoms of the Black River. Lots more bridges as there is lots of waterways and opportunities to see wildlife.

About a mile before reaching the end is a historical stop at the 2000 year old Nicholls Mound. A Hopewell Burial Mound rising 12 feet above the tomb. Just one of many that once existed in the Trempealeau Lakes Mound Group.
The area was excavated in the early 1900's by the Milwaukee Public Museum, Wisconsin law now protects all burial sites for the future. 






After a nice ride it's always time for an ice cream stop.

Trempealeau's Driftless Bike 'n' Bean was a nice respite from the trail. Offering rich ice cream and aromatic coffees, they are open early to start your ride with a little go juice or reward yourself at the end of the trail.












They also rent and repair bikes plus they are adding on to their array of services with Caboose Café.

Just another reason to stop in Trempealeau.
