Let's Keep the VFW Land Open
Help Us Reach Our Goal
Give $25. Give $50. Give $100. Give what you can. Every donation matters, and every contribution is a tangible investment in keeping this land open and cared for.
Donate. Share. Recreate.
Vernon Trails and the VFW, with the support of the City of Viroqua, have reached a two-year lease agreement that will keep the VFW property open for our community.Now we need our community's help to make it work.We're launching a $25,000 community fundraising campaign to meet the immediate costs of keeping this property open, accessible and cared for over the next two years.
For years, the VFW has generously allowed the community to recreate on its land. For years, Vernon Trails volunteers have contributed countless hours maintaining and improving the property so that thousands of people can enjoy it.This new partnership gives us the opportunity to continue that work.
But we cannot do it alone.

Vernon Trails Area Composite
Vernon Trails Area Composite (VTAC) is part of the Wisconsin League of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). This is a youth mountain biking team open to all middle and high school-aged riders within the Vernon County and surrounding areas.
Expanding Access.
With your support, Vernon Trails has built and maintained miles of multi-use trails across Vernon County—creating safe, welcoming places for people of all ages and abilities to move, explore, and connect with the land. From beginners to seasoned riders, these trails exist because the community shows up.
Building Community.
Vernon Trails doesn’t just build trails—we bring people together. Throughout the year, we host community events like Dairy Roubaix, SidieFest, group rides, volunteer days, and family-friendly gatherings that turn shared miles into shared memories.
