Perrot State Park
Perrot State Park covers 1,270 acres
along the Mississippi River just west of
Trempealeau. It is a mixture of wooded
hills, bluffs, ravines and lagoons. The
park is an excellent place to visit during
spring and fall bird
migrations offering
good looks at
migrating waterfowl,
songbirds
and Bald Eagles.
The park encompasses
two state
natural areas:
Brady’s Bluff Prairie
is a 65-acre dry
prairie found on the southwest facing
slope of a steep bluff that rises nearly
460 feet above the river; and
Trempealeau Mountain State Natural
Area, a wooded rock formation that
rises 425 feet from the river. It is accessible
by boat or canoe.
Directions: From Trempealeau, go
south on Main Street to South Park
Road, then west to the park entrance.
