Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located on an island in the Mississippi backwaters, about 3 miles from La Crosse, the Goose Island County Park is a great outdoor space with good recreational activities. The park encompasses a large campground where you can pitch your tent and get back to nature for a day or two. A great way to see some resident wildlife is to hop in a canoe or kayak and paddle around the perimeter of the island – you could be lucky enough to see deer, mink and muskrat. Other activities include fishing and hiking in summer and snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing in winter.
