EAU CLAIRE

Located at the junction of the Chippewa and Eau Claire Rivers, the city of Eau Claire was one of the state's busiest lumber towns in the 1800s. Local museums explore the area's heritage, which includes ties to the Woodland Indian culture. Bike trails offer breathtaking views to both walkers and cyclist in summer and snowmobilers in winter. Eau Claire is an ideal base for day trips to surrounding communities (Augusta includes an Amish settlement of more than 150 families).
