New to the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse? Try the UWL Loop. This route, commonly used as a tour for Drift Cycles, introduces new riders to two ways to get to and from Downtown La Crosse without riding with traffic on busy streets. Leaving campus via East Avenue, the route heads through the La Crosse Rive Marsh Trails north on the Grand Crossing Trail, before turning west and entering Riverside Park without spending time on busy streets. Following Front street south until returning east on two “neighborhood greenways”: King Street and 17th, which are specially designed and designated bicycle infrastructure.
Regional Route 1 is the first of five planned inter-city bicycle routes; the La Crosse Area Planning Commission identifies these routes, and municipal governments put signs on them. The route connects existing off-street trails, on-street bike lanes, and neighborhood greenways to make the best regional bike connections. Regional Route 1 Phase 1 — from Onalaska to Riverside Park in La Crosse — is already signed with the “Regional Route” placards and way finding signage. The route for Phase 2 has been designated, but is not yet signed (as of Summer 2023).
