Experience and enjoy one of the
finest trails in the Chippewa Valley
|
|
Welcome To The Trail.
If you enjoy bicycling, walking, running, in-line skating, cross-country skiing or snowmobiling, then the Chippewa River State Trail is the place for you.
The trail is between Eau Claire and Durand, Wisconsin. Much of it lies on the bed of the old Milwaukee Road railroad line that was built in 1882. The railroad line was abandoned in 1980 and is now part of the Wisconsin state trails network.
This trail is one of three state regional trails that make up the Chippewa Valley Trail System. It is already connected to the Red Cedar State Trail and will eventually be connected to the Old Abe State Trail. Once completed, this trail system will be approximately 70 miles in length and connect together the cities of Menomonie, Durand, Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls and Cornell.
NOTE: The trail is not yet connected between the cities of Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. There are sections that are developed but no connection is made between them at this time. Some other trails in the area are in the process of being developed over the next few years.
