    Great place to hang out and play frisbee golf, walk your dog, go fishing, and has garbages and portable toilets. Just don't forget to bring my mosquito spray and sunscreen. Another great way to kayak or canoe and it's right across from Riverside another Park.

    I came here for the frisbee golf and overall I think the park was clean, and well kept. Hopefully this review helps. Also the view of the Mississippi river was awesome. -UPDATE- The outhouse near basket 1 is gone... Park is still well kept and nice.

    This is a great place to crappie and bluegill fish. My husband and I are YouTubers. We can always get a great video at Pettibone Park.

    Came here for the disc golf, had 27 baskets, tees were nice, split into 3 sections, kind of equal size. Decent course!

    Went fishing this time but this place is peaceful and gorgeous! There is a beach nearby too. Just a nice day in an amazingly breathtaking view of a park.

    Nice park on the upper Mississippi River in WI. It's a great place to walk, ride bikes, swim on the beach and just be with friends and family. Well maintained too.

    Just watch the burrs. If not in the sand. They get into shoes, dog's paws etc. Beautiful area tho. Used to go there when I lived in LaCrescent in grad school back in 1990.

    I love Pettibone park because it is a great area for camping, fishing, and for drinking with buddies! Pettibone beach is the go to place for college partying and drinking and who can complain about that👍🏻

    From Illinois and need a fishing spot, it’s great.

  • 5/5 Lisa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Skip the main beach and check out the next one - dog friendly and the sand is so much softer

  • 5/5 John and Nanette K. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed our 3 night stay here! Nice big sites, clean and quiet. Try to stay on the Mississippi side of the park. 5+ if they had full hook up!!

  • 4/5 Dan K. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice park on the Mississippi across from La Crosse, WI. Lots of trails, a beach, frisbee golf course, plenty of fishing spots. Fun to watch the barges and river boats come through. Just be sure to have bug spray with you.

  • 5/5 Brad B. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome park and really nice disc golf course. Some of the holes are a little confusing but once you get the lay of the land it's great. I'm looking forward to coming back!

  • 4/5 Jansen V. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park to spend the afternoon in playing frisbee golf, fishing, walking, or just relaxing. Great view of Riverside park especially when Rotary Lights is ongoing. Occasionally you'll find some homeless posted up but it's typically in the less trafficked areas.

  • 4/5 Lee C. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful view of the river from many different spots. There is a nice frisbee golf course for all ages to play at. Nice little fishing spots. Just only down fall don't go at night time, can get kind of weird there.

👍👍 Watched the Loggers beat my Minnesota Mudpuppies in what was a surprisingly good game at a great locale! I highly recommend the bratwurst. Employees were all very friendly, even to an out-of-stater!

👍👍 We had so much fun here. The kids loved the Kwik Trip upstairs, climbing all the way from the basement up to the third floor in the climbing structure, and using the big crane. Everything was fun and each kid had different things they didn't want to quit playing with. I loved that there was learn...
