PERROT STATE PARK, Wisc. — At the confluence of the Trempealeau and Mississippi River, you’ll discover one of Wisconsin’s most magical places.
Trempealeau Mountain, a natural river island, is a place of great beauty and cultural significance.
For thousands of years, long before the arrival of European settlers, Trempealeau Mountain has been a sacred place for Native American tribes. There’s no access or public trails on the island, but you can experience the wonder of this place from the water.
You can rent a canoe or kayak at Perrot State Park, a Wisconsin natural treasure. There’s camping and hiking and other activities the whole family will enjoy.
WGN’s Julian Crews takes you there in his latest installment of WGN’s Cruisin’ WI.
