The McGilvray Bridges are located in the Van Loon Wildlife area, also known as the McGilvray Bottoms, in the northwest corner of La Crosse County, about 3.5 miles northwest of the Village of Holmen, Wisconsin. The property extends five miles south of the Black River, from Highway 53/93 Hunter's Bridge to New Amsterdam on County XX. The entire trail from the parking lot to the Sixth Bridge and back measures 3.7 miles. You may reach the Bridges by traveling north on Hwy 53 past Holmen. Just after the highway turns from 4 lanes to 2, turn left on to Old 93. This will take you past the Van Loon Veterinary Clinic. Proceed to the end of Old 93 then take a right. About a half a mile down Amsterdam Prairie Road you will find a parking area for the Van Loon Wildlife Refuge on the left. This is the location of the Bridges.
