About
State Park
Sitting pretty right where the Mississippi and Trempealeau rivers meet, Perrot State Park is a true geographic wonder. This 1,270-acre park was once inhabited by the native tribes in the area, who conducted important meetings (amongst other things) atop Trempealeau Mountain. The “mountain” is truthfully considered more of a bluff, as it is cone-shaped and surrounded by water. Trempealeau Mountain, as well as Brady's Bluff Prairie are the two main natural areas that the state park protects.
Another interesting factoid about this park is that it's located in Wisconsin's Driftless region. The Driftless region is characterized by the lack of glaciation that took place there during the last Ice Age. This makes it one of the few places in the world you can actually see that was left unaffected and uncarved by ancient glaciers. Luckily, the park's main attractions provide stunning views of the surrounding geography.
As far as recreation, this park offers plenty. There are over 12 miles of hiking trails that are great for mountain biking as well. Many of the trails provide great viewpoints from which hikers can enjoy the beautiful view of the Mississippi River with. Right over on the Trempealeau River is a boat landing where visitors can take their own private canoe or rented kayak out for some time on the water. Fishing equipment is available at the park office, and anglers can enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the shore.
During the winter, over nine miles of trails are groomed for cross country skiing, as well as snowshoeing and winter hiking. Visitors are urged to take caution as the rivers can be unpredictable and exposed to various ice conditions.
There are 2 campgrounds available for use at Perrot State Park. One is a family campground that features 102 campsites, 38 of them have electrical hookups. The other one features 4 walk-in campsites with water access. Both campgrounds offer easy access to trails and other attractions of the park.

Don't pass this up
This park has become one of my favorite parks in the area. Camping spots are large and private, the bathroom facilities and showers are clean, and the scenery and views are phenomenal.
The nice little town of trempealeau is close by with a cool old hotel and some fun bars.
Highly recommended.

Campground with water activities
Booked an electric site for our camper. Overall was happy with the layout and amenities. Lots of vegetation around the camp site that made it feel a bit more private but that also brought lots of bugs and mosquitoes. Had to pull out the heavy duty spray right out of the car. Good size site with fire ring and table.
The Saturday we were there they had a heritage camp set up to learn about how things were done in the past. This park has good access for a kayak/canoe path.
Good overnight spot
Only stayed one night passing through, but the mosquitoes were so horrible, I don’t think I could have stayed longer. (I’m sure it was the time of year.)
It was beautiful though, and listening to the frogs at night was incredible!
We also found Horseshoe Falls on a whim — check it out if you’re there!
