Traveling south along Highway 35 from LaCrosse, your first stopover in
Crawford County is DeSoto, a small river town nestled in one of the many
coulees extending laterally from the river, where limestone-scarred bluffs
tower dramatically over the village.
A short distance from DeSoto, Black Hawk
Recreation Park provides campers with boat launches and excellent riverbank
campsites. The park commemorates the site of the 1832 Battle of Bad Axe,
where Chief Black Hawk and his band of Sauk followers made their historic
stand against the U.S. infantry.
