Onalaska

Onalaska has served as a lumber center in western Wisconsin since the mid-19th century. The city occupies the eastern edge of Lake Onalaska, a broad reach of the Mississippi River, while the Black River meets the Mississippi just south of town. This is part of the river plain north of La Crosse, with wooded bluffs rising beyond the lowlands on either side of the valley. The name Onalaska was adopted by early lumberman John C. Laird and is associated with Thomas Campbell’s poem The Pleasures of Hope. The Great River State Trail follows a former railroad corridor through the city.
