 On
your way to Arcadia you will view some of
the most beautiful scenery to be found
anywhere. Arcadia is located in the
drift-less area or non-glaciated area. When
approaching Arcadia from the east, west, and
south you will encounter many beautiful
vistas and rolling terrain formed during
this period. On your tour of the Arcadia
area be sure to leave time for a trip south
of town on Highway 93. As you climb the
hills you will be treated to some of the
most breathtaking scenery anywhere. On
Skyline Drive, the scenic overlooks offer
you a fantastic view of the valleys,
coulees, and family farms nestled in the
lush countryside.
 No
visit to Arcadia would be complete without a
tour of our beautiful 54 acre Memorial Park
and its unique tribute to veterans of all
wars and conflicts. Stroll along Avenue of
Heroes, which is handicap accessible, to
witness exceptional memorial statues of the
fighting men and women who gave so
generously for the freedom we enjoy today.
It is an experience you will not find
anywhere else, other than on a trip to
Washington DC.
The walk is laid out as a time line
depicting the history of Arcadia since 1856.
Each one meter block represents one year in
history. The walk begins near the rotunda at
the west end of the park. It is 1856 and
Arcadia has just been established as a
community.
Walking east, you can follow the development
of Arcadia through granite blocks placed in
the walkway. A number of flower planters
have been placed in the walk. Each one
designates a war or conflict in which the
United States was involved. The newest
addition to the park is a large amphitheater
that will host summer band concerts.
Memorial Park is also home to Arcadia
Broiler-Dairy Days. This annual celebration
of our agricultural heritage is held each
Memorial Day weekend. Taste the best
char-broiled chicken you have ever had.
Sunday hosts a grand parade that is sure to
please old and young alike. A part of the
celebration also includes a Miss Arcadia
Pageant. We boast that 3 of our young ladies
have gone on to become Miss Wisconsin.
During the summer there are many softball
tournaments held at the Memorial Park ball
fields. Kids Kingdom is another fine feature
of the park that gives the youngsters a
great place to unwind. Rounding out this
fine park is a new Aquatic Center that
features a zero depth entry pool with
swimming lanes, a huge water slide, water
geysers, and a picnic area.
Only 4 miles north of Arcadia on Highway 93
is beautiful Pietrek Park. Situated along
the Trempealeau River, this recently updated
park has camper hookups, hot showers, rest
rooms, a public canoe landing and plenty of
tree lined hiking and picnic areas. For
horseback riding enthusiasts, the park has
new scenic riding trails along the river, a
lighted and fenced riding arena and plenty
of trailer parking.
Klink Deer Park, located next to the
Trempealeau River near our downtown area,
offers a great place to relax. Bring a
picnic lunch and enjoy the Whitetail deer.
 The
newest addition to our great recreation
activities are our bicycle trails. Teamed
with Trempealeau County Tours, a series of
scenic and safe loops on paved back roads
offers bicyclists 24-36 mile loops that
allow you to park your vehicle in one of our
communities and travel one of our routes and
arrive back at your starting point. We
believe you will especially appreciate the
sense of safety and hospitality offered by
over a hundred rural families who serve as
trail stewards along the loops. Clearly
marked, the stewards are available to offer
assistance should it ever be needed.
Arcadia has been called a sportsman's
paradise due to in great part on an active
300 member Sportsman's Club. Sports
enthusiasts will find something to their
liking during any of the four seasons. If
you are a hunter, the Arcadia area is well
known for its excellent white-tail deer
hunting season and the wild turkey season.
For the canoeists, the Trempealeau River
offers a quiet trip as it winds through the
countryside. For snowmobiling, Arcadia links
with both the Trempealeau and Buffalo County
trails with views that match no others. The
trails are well marked and groomed to make
your ride safe and enjoyable.
The Arcadia Country Club is open to the
public and offers 9-holes of fun, but
challenging play.
While in town, visit our downtown area and
our 93/95 crossroads area. There you will
find many family owned businesses that offer
a wide array of merchandise.
