We took our college aged twins here during family weekend and had such a blast! The room was so much fun and really well thought out, we loved everything about this and will definitely be back!

Chippewa River Trail

Reviewed By rrgeniusz - Cedarburg, United States

This trail goes all around the Eau Claire Area and is a great way to walk or ride a bike around town. Some of the special features that enjoyed were the old Chicago and Northwestern Bridges that have been converted to walking/biking bridges, the new welcome center, the planet walk that puts the sizes and distances between planets into perspective. The trail is not flat, there are some hills.There is a large farmers market just off the trail during the warmer months.
