Great River State Trail Conditions

Conditions as of Friday, October 23, 2009:

Fall colors should peak this weekend.

Surface maintenance is being done on a 5-mile section from the Trempealeau Refuge to 1/4 mile south of Trempealeau. The surface may be soft in places and the loose material may be difficult to bike on.

A resurfacing project is also underway. Two sections of the trail will be receiving a new layer of surfacing material this fall. Look for heavy equipment and loose limestone screenings about 1 mile north of Midway and also north of Lytles Landing. Work will be done only on weekdays.

Other sections of the trail are open and in good condition.

Watch for the reds of sumac and Virginia creeper as you ride along. Hawks and waterfowl are beginning to migrate down the river valley.

The bathrooms at Trempealeau and Lytles landing will be closed for the season on October 19.

Please report any damage or problems on the trail to Perrot State Park, (608) 534-6409.
