In Medary, the end of
one trail is the start of another, the La Crosse
River State Trail. The trail parallels an active
rail line all the way to
Sparta, for a total of 21 miles. On the way, it
passes through West
Salem, which has several historic buildings
including the unique
Palmer-Gullickson Octagon home. And, West Salem has one of
the
nicest
lakes in southwest Wisconsin. In Bangor, a short
trail spur
goes to a
local town park. This trail is probably the most
prairie-like,
as there are
only sporadic growths of trees. All-in-all, it makes
for a
pleasant ride,
and is well worth a visit.
The La Crosse River State Trail is part of a
100+ mile linking trail system.
