Description:

Perrot State Park (https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/perrot/)  is located on the Mississippi River flyway and next door to the:

• Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge (https://www.fws.gov/refuge/trempealeau/)
• Great River State Trail (user fee) (https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/greatriver/)
• The confluence of the Trempealeau and Mississippi Rivers and Lock & Dam #6  (https://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/Missions/Navigation/Locks-Dams/igphoto/2000752387/)
• The driftless area of Wisconsin with scenic hills and quiet country roads.

This offers us the chance to:

• Hike in the park or the National Wildlife Refuge
• National Migratory Bird Day is May 9^th and the Refuge will have special programming and hikes that day for kids (and adults).
• Bike on the Great River Trail to the Refuge or to Onalaska, or road bike on quiet country roads with plenty of climbs (Trout Run Rd and Hipbreaker)
• Paddle the backwaters of the Mississippi and/or paddle the Mississippi through Lock #6.

The group camp site has a capacity of 20 people but limited space for about 15 tents max, so buddy-up.

A Wisconsin State Park sticker is required ($11/day, $38 annual).

We’ll do a potluck on Saturday night.

There are fine dining choices nearby at Sullivan’s or in Trempealeau.
