Berghum Bottoms is a remote stretch of river front land at the base of wooded bluffs and is truly a gem. This hike follows a narrow, unmarked path but is basic in direction and very simple to follow. Walk east, with the bluffs rising to your right and the river and its floodplain forest to the left. Keep close to the base of the bluff but do not ascend and do not venture into the flood plain. The path splits after about a mile and you will take the right branch down to a landing on the river, a great place to pause and soak in the Wisconsin River views and watch the raptors and waterfowl cruise the river corridor. Next, find a narrow path leading into the woods that will bring you to an old road, leading east along the base of the bluff. A good turn-around spot is a notable washout at the mouth of a ravine.
