I hiked Wagon Wheel Trail this morning with the Driftless Drifters Hiking Club from La Crescent.

Canadian Geese are common along the trail and can get aggressive when they have their goslings in tow.

Wagon Wheel Trail is fully paved, easy access for walkers, hikers, and bikers. In the middle of the picture is one of the beaver lodges next to the trail.

Pedestrian Bridge

While technically a part of the Wagon Wheel Trail, the bridge, opened in 2022 allowing easy access to the Wagon Wheel Trail from La Crescent without having to cross the busy highway.
