Eleva is located on the
Northwest Corner of Trempealeau County. Eleva was settled in
the 1870's and was called New Chicago. It was later renamed Eleva and is know as the "Crossroads of Friendship". Highways
10 and 93 meet at the heart of town. Eleva is located on the
Buffalo River with Big Creek and Adams Creek flowing into Eleva
Pond. The creeks and pond offer top notch trout
fishing.
Vacationers approaching Eleva from the
North, over the Eleva ridge, will experience one of the most
breathtaking views of the peaceful Beef River Valley. Eleva
offers a beautiful park adjacent to the Eleva Pond on Highway 93.
The park offers something for everyone;
playground area, horseshoe pits, volleyball courts,
softball field, charcoal pits and sheltered picnic
areas. |

Eleva has a population
of 635, but during the first weekend in June, it swells to about
20,000. People come from miles to partake in the Eleva
Broiler festival festivities. Activities include great
musical entertainment, a carnival, parades and some of "the
best" charcoal chicken.

The railroad of 1889 no
longer runs through Eleva, but has been replaced with The Buffalo
River State Trail. The trail is multi-use. It runs from
Fairchild to Mondovi and is used by snowmobilers, cross-country
skiers, bicycle enthusiasts, horseback riders and other recreational
vehicles. |
