Nice scenic trail that goes along the river. Paved and nice to ride a bike, run or walk next to the river.
Can bike this trail alone to birdwatch,especially past Meridean. Cannot rollerblade as far as Careyville.
We have most awesome trail system in the Eau Claire area. You can go 15 miles on this trail. Lots of wildlife!
What a beautiful, relaxing place to walk or bike. The trail winds around with trees to give one shade.
This is a great trail that goes through both the new and old parts of Eau Claire. The only problem we had --- the locals have no idea where the trail is. They must obviously call it something other than the Chippewa River Trail. The easiest way to find it is to go downtown. The trail starts at the end of each of the pedestrian bridges crossing the Chippewa River.
The Chippewa River Bike trail is a beautiful place to bike. I live close to it and love to go biking there at least every other two days. There is miles and miles of paved road. They also have rest stops along the way.
The Eau Claire area is a hidden gem when it comes to bike trails, including the Chippewa River Trail. Nice trails, neat views, and close to the amenities of a larger town. Be sure to check out Phoenix Park and the downtown area, and ride both loops within Eau Claire -- the one via Carson Park and the other along the river through UW-Eau Claire.
At the international native American flute convention. Having too much fun! Right across from Putman hall ( campus housing) is the trails... the campus is divided by the Chippawa river, trails are on both sides.
This is a great trail that is being updated and well-maintained. I trained for the Fall50 Ultramarathon in Door County here and would run it from northern Eau Claire to Durand. There a little towns along the way and a few bathrooms and water stops. Bring bug spray!! I loved reading the little historical marker signs too. Can't wait to come back and bike it! No fee for runners and walkers.
Beautiful area to explore and enjoy the beauty of nature, especially during autumn when leaves change.
