The La Crosse Region Grandad Bluff is a must-visit Wisconsin destination. From the 600-foot peak in La Crosse, you can see all the way to Iowa, plus an unmatched view of the Mississippi River Valley below. But the La Crosse Region has plenty more to offer. Consider a drive down the Great River Road, which provides phenomenal views of foliage throughout. In autumn, the Hidden Trails Corn Maze of West Salem, a 12-acre attraction with over 5 miles of trails among the stalks, is ideal for an afternoon with the family. And throughout the year, La Crosse Queen Cruises offers daily Mississippi River excursions on a
modern-day replica of the old paddleboats that used to travel the river. A short walk from the Queen’s dock in downtown La Crosse is The Waterfront Restaurant and Tavern, offering farm-to-table fine dining in a beautiful riverside setting. Or wander to Red Pines Bar & Grill on Lake Onalaska to savor festive flavors in a cozy, rustic setting – don’t miss their shrimp and fish fry Fridays. Snag your perfect souvenir at whimsical Treehouse Gift & Home in Onalaska or Drift Mercantile, a modern general store, in Historic Downtown La Crosse. explorelacrosse.com October 2022
