Imagine yourself on a
leisurely horseback ride along the beautiful
Trempealeau River. The Trempealeau
County Horse Club has developed a horse
trail. Along the trail there are places to
stop for a brief rest and enjoy the sites
and sounds of the serene river setting.
While riding is normal to see Bald Eagles
that nest along the Trempealeau River.
Within the park are places to park and camp
overnight. A 140 by 300 foot arena is
available to rent for horse activities,
contact the County Clerks office for
availability and rates. |

Memorial Park |
 |
|
|
|
No visit to Arcadia would be
complete without a tour of our beautiful 54
acre
Memorial Park and its unique
tribute to veterans of all wars and
conflicts. Stroll along the Avenue of
Heroes, which is handicap accessible, to
witness exceptional memorial statues of the
fighting men and women who gave so
generously for the freedom we enjoy today.
It is an experience you will not find
anywhere else, other than on a trip to
Washington DC. The walk is laid out as a
time line depicting the history of Arcadia
since 1856. Each one meter block represents
one year in history. The walk begins near
the rotunda at the west end of the park. It
is 1856 and Arcadia has just been
established as a community. |

Trempealeau Lakes State

Wildlife Area |
|
|

|
|
This wildlife area is only
164 acres in size, but draws a nice variety
of birds and wildlife. The Trempealeau
Lakes, or Long Lakes are found by following
Fremont Street south from the Mini-Mart on
Hwy 35. Directly after crossing the railroad
tracks, veer right to visit the lock & dam
area, and continue straight ahead to visit
the lakes. About 1.5 miles from the railroad
crossing, the turn-off for the Lakes area is
well-marked. This is also the landing for
the Long Lakes Canoe Trail. The canoe trail
is well marked and is about 4 miles in
length and will take 3-4 hours to complete.
Maps are available on the more information
link. |
