The Route The Great River Road Bikeway Mississippi River Trail (GRRBMRT) in Wisconsin is located primarily on the Great River Road (WIS 35) between Prescott and Prairie du Chien In Grant County (the southernmost county on the Wisconsin route) the GRRBMRT is routed on a series of state and county highways and not always on the Great River Road itself Traffic varies from low (400-700 motor vehicles per day) on the county roads of the route to the most typical rural volume on WIS 35 ranging between 1300 and 7200 In the smaller villages traffic increases with local use with the major traffic volumes in the La Crosse and Prairie du Chien urban areas Traffic volumes in the central part of La Crosse are higher but there are numerous alternatives favorable to bicycling to use that are provided in the map

The typical image of the route is found around Stockholm Stoddard DeSoto and Bagley where the road clings to a narrow ledge between precipitous bluffs on the east and an almost as steep of a drop on the west to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad and the Mississippi River which is constantly visible throughout the rural portion of the road This scenic view is common on much of the Great River Road and is not unusual to experience long stretches of between 10 and 25 miles in length where this condition exists

There are several interconnected alternate routes that bring the rider closer to the Mississippi River and in addition bypass some of the heavier trafficked roadway portions Most of the County and Town Roads that serve as informal alternate routes for the GRRBMRT have little if any shoulders but the lower traffic volumes make the ride less formidable than it would be on a heavier traveled road Grant County actually has more choices for interconnected alternate routes than the other counties but often the alternate route is not significantly closer to the Mississippi River and quite hilly A completely separated bicycle touring trail the Great River State Trail exists between Onalaska and Marshland (from the La Crosse area to about 25 miles north)

Services There are numerous small villages along the route and basic needs of drinking water sanitary facilities and food can be met at commercial establishments in these areas Some of the smaller communities do not have full service restaurants Overnight accommodations range from bed and breakfast inns local motels and hotels and campgrounds ranging from commercial sites to camping in area parks Travelers should trip plan ahead for these types of accommodations and services accordingly Most of the communities may not have a bicycle shop designated as such but resourceful local individuals are often able to resuscitate a broken bike and get you on your way again See the icons listed on the map for locations of potential services Wisconsin State Parks directly adjacent to the route are Merrick near Fountain City Perrot near Trempealeau and Wyalusing and Nelson Dewey near Bagley and Cassville There are several overlooks or turnouts along The Great River Road but most of these do not provide toilet water or shelter facilities

Opportunities to cross the Mississippi River by bridge or ferry and access the Minnesota and Iowa segments of the GRRBMRT are at

Prescott Hager City Nelson south of Fountain City La Crosse South of De Soto Prairie du Chien the Cassville ferry and Dubuque

Amtrak passenger rail service which includes the shipping of bicycles is available at La Crosse and St Paul and Winona Minnesota Rail passenger service without checked baggage (bike) is available at Red Wing Minnesota across the Mississippi River from Hager City in Pierce County Commercial intercity bus service is available at all the above named Amtrak stops as well as Dubuque The La Crosse Municipal Transit (MTU) which provides local bus service in that urban area has exterior bike racks on all its buses

Weather The climate along the route is classically Continental meaning large air masses can bring weather ranging from thunderstorms to humidity laden afternoons to crisp clear mornings Because the immediate Mississippi River valley is usually two to three miles wide or more winds from the west across the open river frequently are quite brisk For the bicyclists along the route any given day anywhere on the route may seem the same in Prescott as Cassville especially during the peak summer months of June and July The average summer highs range from 79 to 86 degrees along the route During late spring and early autumn high temperatures range from 57 to 70 degrees

Rainfall varies slightly month to month generally ranging from three to four inches per month from April to September Rainfall drops closer to two inches in October

GRRBMRT Map Specifics and Use of Map This map depicts conditions for bicycling on the GRRBMRT and nearby roadways Touring cyclists can ride the entire Wisconsin segment or choose smaller segments that are better suited to their experience level Except the Great River State Trail cyclists will be riding on highways with light to heavy traffic volumes

This map is provided to assist bicyclists age 16 and over who have had drivers training and are capable of riding longer distances between communities As you use the map legend know your level of skill and comfort in sharing roadways with motor vehicles and travel with conditions that match your abilities The user of the map bears full responsibility of his or her safety assumes all risks encountered and is advised to use good judgment and obey all traffic laws The State counties cities towns villages and their officers and employees and those of the UW-Madison Cartography Lab shall not be held accountable in any manner for loss damage or injury that may be suffered by anyone who use this map

Legend Unpaved Paved Town Roads

This is the most extensive system of local roads in the state These could notbe individually evaluated or classified as part of this map in the same way county and state highways were Most are likely to have narrow pavements with no paved shoulders and low volumes of traffic Traffic volumes are likelyto be heavier when traveling these roads into cities Town roads will be quite steep with poor sight lines in the Southwestern and Mississippi Valley areas of the state The map depicts whether town roads are paved or unpaved as well as identifying undesirable town roads with higher levels of traffic

Paved shoulderBest Conditions for Bicycling

These county and state highways will have light volumes of traffic and may have many other favorable factors such as good sight distance and minimaltruck traffic This classification also includes highways approaching a moder-ate level of traffic but with paved shoulders

Paved shoulder

Moderate Conditions for BicyclingThese roadways have moderate traffic volumes for the amount of pavement width present This classification may also include county highways and statehighways with paved shoulders but slightly more traffic Due to moderate traffic volumes less experienced bicyclists should use care on these segments

Wider paved 4-lane shoulder highway

Higher Volume Wider Paved ShouldersThese roadways have moderately-high car andor truck volumes but have wider paved shoulders (generally 4 or 5 feet) This classification also includes a select number of 4-lane highways that have wide paved shoulders and moderate levels of traffic Due to traffic volumes less experienced bicyclists should use care on these segments

Paved 4-lane shoulder highway High Volume Undesirable Conditions

These roadways have moderately-high traffic volumes with no paved shoulders or high traffic volumes with narrow paved shoulders and many have moderate to high truck traffic This classification could also include some moderate volume roadways but with an assortment of negative factors for bicycling Bicyclists should try to plan around these roads andor use considerable caution when using them Bicyclists should have appropri-ate amounts of expertise with these types of riding conditions if choosing these roads

Bicyclists ProhibitedThese roadways are 4-lane Interstates and freeways posted as Pedestrians Bicycles Non Motorized Traffic Motor Bicycles Prohibited There are some 4-lane divided highways that will permit bicycling but pay close attention to how they are rated on the map

Services

FS Full Services Available (Lodging Food Service Station)

Bicycle Touring TrailsThese are bicycling trails that include state regional and local trails The state trails are often a finely screened limestone These trails are excellent for use with hybrid and mountain bikes and most are also suitable for road bikes Most of the trails are paved in urban areas Many of these trails are particu-larly good for children and inexperienced bicyclists

Urban Escape RoutesThese routes are likely to be the best connections into and out of large cities and are often routes recommended by area bicyclists However many have moderate or high traffic volumes without bike lanes or paved shoulders

Major Urban StreetsBicycling conditions are not presented for these streets They are likely to have high volumes of traffic The urban boundaries depicted on this map arebased on a combination of municipal boundaries speed zones and built-up areas

Rustic Roads Wisconsins designated system of scenic lightly-traveled country roads Many of these roads are identified with the word Rustic near the name of the road See wisconsindotgov for additional information
