Goose Island lies on the Mississippi in the southern part of La Crosse County and Northern part of Vernon County. It has a large park with water access and trails. There is plenty of wildlife, including enough deer to call this "Deer Island". A view over the water to the west makes for wonderful sunset photos.

Notes:

  • There are parking lots and places to pull off throughout the park.
  • There is a campground onsite for overnight stays. 
  • There are restrooms at the campground and in small buildings in other areas of the park. The campground one has showers.

 

Directions:

The map is centered on the Shady Maple Trail/Interpretive trail.
