The Chippewa River State Trail is a WI State Trail that's 30-miles long!  The trail extends from Phoenix Park in downtown Eau Claire, at the confluence of the Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers and travels south along the Chippewa River through a wide variety of habitat including river bottoms, prairies, sandstone bluffs and wetlands.

The trail joins the Red Cedar State Trail in the Dunnville Wildlife Area near the confluence of the Red Cedar and Chippewa Rivers and ends at the town of Durand.

Upper Chippewa View Park is a unique setting on Main St. that overlooks the beautiful Chippewa River.  Once the location of Hwy. 10, this quaint park is perfect to enjoy a quick bite to eat, to relax and enjoy the flower beds or simply take in the natural beauty of the river.  The clocktower is a highlight of this park (although it doesn't always keep accurate time).
