Explore Trempealeau County

Trempealeau County sits in one of western Wisconsin’s most scenic regions.

Along its western edge, the Mississippi River meets towering bluffs and river valleys characteristic of Wisconsin’s Driftless Area.

The village of Trempealeau provides a particularly beautiful gateway to this landscape. Its location near the Mississippi River, Perrot State Park, Great River State Trail, and Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge makes the area popular with hikers, cyclists, paddlers, anglers, birdwatchers, and travelers exploring Wisconsin’s Great River Road.

Farther inland, communities such as Galesville, Arcadia, Whitehall, Blair, Independence, Ettrick, and Strum provide another side of Trempealeau County.

The landscape shifts between farms, wooded ridges, valleys, streams, and small communities where locally owned restaurants remain important gathering places.

You can spend quite a bit of time wandering around this county.

Which is convenient, because eventually wandering makes people hungry.

Why Trempealeau County Loves Friday Fish Fry

Friday fish fry fits naturally into Trempealeau County’s small towns, farming communities, river culture, outdoor recreation, and locally owned restaurants.

Families meet for dinner after another workweek. Friends gather at neighborhood taverns. Visitors finish hiking at Perrot State Park. Cyclists come off the Great River State Trail. Anglers return from the river.

Eventually everyone arrives at the same Friday question.

What’s for dinner?

Fortunately, Wisconsin settled this debate a long time ago.

Every restaurant puts its own fingerprint on the fish fry tradition.

One may have fiercely loyal cod fans. Another might be known for perch or walleye. Somewhere else, it’s the potato pancakes, homemade coleslaw, soup, rye bread, or supper-club atmosphere that keeps people coming back.

The basic tradition may be familiar.

Finding all the different versions is the adventure.
