Nature
Perrot State Park occupies 1,270 acres in Wisconsin’s Driftless Area at the meeting of the Trempealeau and Mississippi rivers, where steep limestone bluffs, broad valleys, wetlands, and backwaters create striking upper Mississippi scenery. The park is known for wildlife, especially birds, and for recreation across trails, campgrounds, and observation points. It also protects Brady’s Bluff Prairie and Trempealeau Mountain, a cone-shaped, water-ringed landmark long regarded as sacred by Native Americans and used as a meeting place. Earthwork mounds and one of the earliest European explorer encampments in the upper Mississippi Valley connect the site to Indigenous history and the early French explorer Nicolas Perrot.
