Great River Road - Wisconsin
The Wisconsin section of the Great River Road is one of the prettiest because in many areas riders are sandwiched between the river and wooded bluffs.  Riders can take in sweeping views by leaving the Great River Road in both LaCrosse (Granddad Bluff) and Alma (Buena Vista Park).
 
Like all of the Great River Road routes, the Wisconsin section takes riders through historic river towns and cities where the earliest settlers lived and worked.  One of these historic towns is Cassville where you can also take a ferry to Iowa.
 
The Wisconsin Great River Road is broken into 2 sections; Hastings, Minnesota to LaCrosse and LaCrosse to Dubuque, Iowa.
 
Note:  We have created 2 sets of routes for each state.  1 is for riding North to South and the other is for riding South to North.  Each route is notated either N to S (for North to South) or S to N (for South to North).
