Cruise the Mississippi River to the Trempealeau Hotel

Houseboating Excursions in the River Valley took a Mississippi River cruise up to Trempealeau to visit and have lunch at the Trempealeau Hotel. We parked at the Sunset Bay Marina in Trempealeau. They are located on the east side of Lock and Dam No.6 in a small bay. They have a fee to stay the night and use their facilities of $1.00 a foot in boat length. You can make advanced reservations by calling their phone number at 1-800-627-4629. The marina has a bar, no food, gas,some supplies and can provide phone numbers to local restaurants and bar/grills that have a shuttle service to come to the marina and pick you up and bring you back.
We decided to walk to the Trempealeau Hotel which is about a 1/4 mile from the marina instead of calling for the hotel's shuttle service because you can view the bluffs and Mississippi River Valley as you walk. When you go inside the Tremealeau Hotel you will notice on your left a Wall of Fame which has pictures of past entertainers that played there. Entertainers like Survivor, Little River Band, Tokens, Molly Hatchet and The Marshall Tucker Band. The hotel has different seating arrangements like a screened-in porch with views of the Mississippi River and Lock and Dam No. 6. We stopped for lunch and had their famous Walnut Burger, which is very good and is amazingly made with no meat. The Tremealeau Hotel has free outdoor concerts on Thursday nights starting aroung 7:00pm as well as their regular fee required concerts they offer throught the houseboating season. You can find out about concert dates and who is playing by clicking on our link to their web site for more information. The Tremealeau Hotel has many different hotel rooms if you wish to stay there and some have jacuzzi's.
