    Hiking

    The Holland Sand Prairie State Natural Area is a 61-acre protected site located in La Crosse County, Wisconsin. It is a remnant of a "sand prairie" ecosystem, formed on an ancient terrace of the Black River. The site's sandy soil and dunes support unique plants that aren't found in most other parts of the state, such as the prickly pear cactus and silky prairie clover. Notably, the prairie is a primary habitat for the endangered Karner blue butterfly, as it contains a high concentration of wild lupine, which the butterfly larvae need to survive.
