The Trempealeau
National Wildlife Refuge |
|
The Trempealeau
National Wildlife Refuge, five miles northwest of
Trempealeau, offers a unique opportunity to explore a variety
of river, prairie, and bottomland forest habitats. There are
numerous interpretive hiking trails and a five-mile
self-guided circle drive through the refuge that is convenient
for autos and bikers.
In the forested
portion, look for hawks, ruffed grouse, cuckoos,
yellow-breasted chat and bluebirds. Grebes, rare
double-crested cormorants, bitterns, geese ducks, and osprey
all nest in the refuge. There is access for canoers who will
enjoy very quiet wetland passages. Only hand-powered boats or
those with electric motors are allowed in the refuge.
|
|
Located 3 ¼ miles West of Centerville, South 1 mile on West
Prairie Road—visitor
information building, bird watching from observation deck at
refuge pool, 4 ½ miles wildlife auto drive and 3 hiking
trails.
