Buffalo River State Trail

Eleva, Strum, and Osseo
(608) 534-6409

This trail in west-central Wisconsin follows the scenic Buffalo River valley for 36.4 miles between Mondovi and Fairchild. In Trempealeau County the trail may be accessed in Eleva, Strum, or Osseo.

The river, which lends its name to the trail, was named by early French explorers. They called it Riviere de Beeufs for the many bison that once inhabited the area.  The trail is built on a former railroad corridor and passes by farmlands, woods, hills and wetlands.

The trail surface is a combination of railroad ballast and limestone screenings, and is therefore used for walking, mountain biking, snowmobiling, horseback riding, and all terrain vehicle use.
