Water Trails of the Driftless

Bust out your paddles and scuba gear: We are kayaking, canoeing and “cannonballing” our way through west central Wisconsin. First, we discover rural Trempealeau County, where Mariah Haberman takes in a stunning view of the Mississippi River from Perrot State Park and visits The Historic Trempealeau Hotel. Next, the crew explores the waterways of the La Crosse area by kayak, pontoon and airboat. Mariah then heads northeast to the city of Black River Falls, home to Wisconsin’s deepest lake and the endangered Karner blue butterfly. The show comes to a close in Buffalo County, where she kicks things up a notch by attempting barrel racing but slows things down at Danzinger Winery, Merrick State Park and a farm-to-fork hidden gem along the river. If you’re all about that H2O, this episode is for you.
