Peterson town theme is Gnomes, not sure why, but they have an awesome giant gnome next to their sign, right on the bike path!

Founder of Peterson's barn and the pump house

Looks like a neat little place, and it's right next to the bowling alley which has more food and drink options. Plus they have volleyball courts.

This is one of the best views of the Rushford sign on the bluff I found from the bike trail.

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.
