Make the Most of Your La Crosse Stay

A river city shaped by bluffs and brewing

La Crosse occupies a dramatic stretch of the Mississippi River where 600-foot limestone bluffs create one of the Midwest's most striking urban settings. The city earned its name from French explorers who observed indigenous peoples playing lacrosse here, and later built its prosperity on lumber and brewing. Today, that heritage lives on in a downtown historic district with over 100 buildings showcasing Italianate, Romanesque Revival, and Art Deco styles. The Hixon House preserves Victorian lumber baron opulence, while Grandad Bluff offers panoramic views across three states.

Where history meets college town energy

The city's 20,000 students across three universities bring vitality to downtown, particularly along Third Street. Yet La Crosse balances that energy with refined dining at establishments like The Waterfront Restaurant & Tavern overlooking the river, or Lovechild's elevated menu. Business travelers will find The Charmant—housed in a converted candy factory—provides sophisticated accommodations within walking distance of Riverside Park, designed by landscape architect John Nolen in 1911.

Accessing the Driftless Region

La Crosse Regional Airport connects through Chicago and Minneapolis, with rental cars recommended for exploring the surrounding Driftless Area. The Great River Road stretches north through river towns like Trempealeau, while Perrot State Park and Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge offer nature experiences within 30 minutes. Most visitors prefer rideshare services for navigating between downtown and the bluff areas.
