La Crosse is
famous for its exceptional natural beauty. The city (metropolitan
population 126,838 based on the 2010 census) is located on the east bank of the
Mississippi River below towering bluffs. Abundant
water and woodlands provide year-round recreation sites for hiking, biking,
skiing, hunting, camping, and other outdoor activities. La Crosse is also
home to two universities, a technical college, a symphony orchestra, excellent
theatrical and cultural events, and superb health care facilities. The Upper
Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge is a major flyway for
migratory birds and boasts the longest river refuge in the continental United
States.
