Land OwnerOutdoor Recreation Alliance \"ORA Trails\"
Tramway - New in fall of 2020, part of the Grandad Bluff Trails as a partnership with City of La Crosse / Outdoor Recreation Alliance (ORA Trails) / IMBA Trail Solutions / VeloCity Projects, and Built By Rock Solid Trail Contractors.
This is a blue level trail with many turns and switchback. This trail serves as the primary shared use connection from 29th St in La Crosse to the heart of the trail network in the quarry near the top. This is a Bi-directional shared use trail so please watch for uphill traffic and hikers.
The name of this trail references the tram that was used in the late 1880's and early 1900's when this was the site of a limestone quarry. Much of the stone from this quarry can been seen in some of the larger history Victoria houses located in La Crosse.
