Black Hawk Trail Route
The Black Hawk War was a tragic period in early Wisconsin History.  The Black Hawk Trail Route includes a series of historical markers commemorating the events that occurred during the Black Hawk War in this area.  In addition to following the trail of Chief Black Hawk, this route provides the rider with an opportunity to enjoy portions of the beautiful Mississippi Great River Road as well as part of the scenic Kickapoo River Valley.  The Black Hawk trail Route consists of a great variety of roads.
