One of the goals of Human Powered Trails, Inc. is to remain an "open book" organization. In terms of how we run our organization as well as our financial records.
We believe in sharing all of our organizations information so you feel 100% comfortable sending us your hard earned dollars and volunteering your time. We in turn promise to use your generous donations in a wise and judicious manner to continually grow and improve the trail system in the La Crosse and surrounding area.

Thus far Human Powered Trails, Inc. has worked to build and maintain over 12 miles of trails, that by knowledgeable estimates, are worth well over $300,000 in manpower and material, and we have done it on a shoestring budget of $56,500.
The economic impact to the La Crosse area from the thousands of tourists the trails attract each year is difficult to quantify, but again, people who have studied such impact place the value at well over a million dollars and climbing.
