About the host

Hosted by Beth & Mark

Host profile image
My first trip to Trempealeau was in 2001 with my husband Mark. Mark grew up in the area and we were in town to visit family. I immediately fell in love with Trempealeau and the access to nature, the Wildlife Refuge, Great River State Trail, Perrot State Park, the Mississippi, and Lake Road. Lake Road is a special out of the way gem. I love the water, tree lined streets, the simplicity of how I felt when riding my bike down the street, it brought out the little kid in me. Trempealeau was definitely on the list of places to visit more often, maybe even a place to live. I had no idea how that was going to become a reality.
