From the overlook at Grandad Bluff visitors can see three states -Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. The small park is on the edge of a 600 foot bluff and has a picnic shelter, restrooms, a semi circle overlook, a statue honoring Ellen Hixon who raised the funds to buy the bluff to prevent a sale to a quarry, interpretive signs, and a path that goes out on a ridge for a better view of the city of La Cross which spreads out to fill the Mississippi River valley.
The semi circle overlook is accessible. The path along the ridge is paved but very steep - use caution.
The parking lot is large enough for RVs. Do not drive to the park on Bliss Road. It has a five ton weight limit. Go east on State Hwy 33 and turn left on County Road F to go to the bluff. Bluff 43.81274, -91.20923
