La Crosse is fortunate to have Sister City relationships with eight cities around the world. These cities include Bantry, Ireland; Dubna, Russia; Epinal, France; Førde, Norway; Friedberg, Germany; Luoyang, China; Kumbo, The Republic of Cameroon, West Africa; and Junglinster, Luxembourg. Each of these relationships is unique and features cooperative efforts in such diverse activities as health care, education, sports, the arts, government agencies and public policy, business, and many others La Crosse's business activity along with the varied cultural backgrounds of the citizens has resulted in an environment that makes foreign visitors welcome and is supportive of a variety of cultural activities and events. Many of these events are supported and coordinated by the City’s International Committee. The International Committee has representation from each of our Sister Cities and from citizens interested in promoting international awareness and citizen diplomacy.

Lots of nature, but be sure to stay on the paths

This is the promenade on the Mississippi

Many of the marsh trails are paved or hard-packed dirt, making it a great place for riding. This is good place to look for waterfowl and other wetland fauna, and there is a fishing pier and picnic area nearby.

The park goes right up to the water's edge, and there are plenty of nice grassy areas to hand out by the river in the shade. There are some paved trails, and sometimes the park will hold events at the band shell or for Riverfest.

Excellent coffee shop and roaster, right on the main street of Viroqua. Makes for a perfect rest spot on your gravel adventures in the Driftless

This is widely considered to be the first rail trail in all of the United States. The crushed stone pathway — now built specifically for bikes — covers almost 33 miles, passing through five small towns and three railroad tunnels as it goes. This is tunnel number two.

This is one of three old railroad tunnels from the 1870s that you will encounter along the Elroy-Sparta State Trail (the oldest rail trail in the country). The rough hewn walls, cool subterranean temperatures, and phenomenal scenery make this feel like a real adventure. You must walk your bike through the tunnel, which is closed every year from November 1 to April 30.
