What Are Human Powered Trails? |
The Human Powered Trails were built by volunteers from the community and Human Powered Trails, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation based in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Human Powered Trail's mission is “To develop and maintain first class sustainable and environmentally correct, human-powered, shared use trails for the La Crosse, WI region.”
We work closely with the City of La Crosse, the La Crosse Park & Rec Department, Mississippi Valley Conservancy, Myrick Hixon Eco Park and other organizations, to deliver professional trail-building know-how and muscle. Through the combined efforts of Human Powered Trails members and community volunteers, many of you included, HPT, Inc. has succeeded in building over 12 miles of Shared-Use Trails that we can all be proud of and enjoy using.
