It now stands as a monument to the logging industry that laid the foundation for the entire Chippewa Valley.

Bloomer, located off of State Highway 53, offers the best in small-town Americana, offering food and services of every description to visitors and area residents. Bloomer serves as the hub of a large agricultural area and is the gateway city serving residents and visitors to the Blue Diamond recreation area to the north. Bloomer features specialty merchants known for breads, pies and meats. Fine medical facilities serve visitors and residents, and classic churches deﬁne the skyline. Bloomer offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities, from its historic annual speed rope jump competition to several parks and walking trails, an 18-hole golf course and a beautiful lake in the center of town. Nearby lakes offer boating, ﬁshing, snowmobiling, hiking and hunting opportunities, as well as resorts and campgrounds. Visitors can visit the historical museum in the summer and attend the annual community fair in July.

The Village of Boyd–nicknamed “The Friendly Town”–is nestled among the farms and woodlots in the gently rolling hills along State Highway 29, east of Chippewa Falls. The many local businesses meet the needs of area residents and visitors. The community also features Lotz Park, with a lighted ball diamond, volleyball and tennis courts, pavilions and play areas. Historic St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, built in 1928, has spectacular German stained glass windows. Its prominent twin steeples have become a landmark. Boyd’s 680 residents invite everyone to the community’s Ringelspiel Days Festival on Memorial Day weekend with sports tournaments, a carnival, parade and live music. Late August, the village hosts an event with an outdoor dance and free sweet corn. In early December, Boyd hosts a pancake breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus, horse-drawn wagon rides and skating.

Cadott, “halfway between the Equator and the North Pole,” is in the heart of Wisconsin’s vacation crossroads. Located at the junctions of State Highways 27 and 29, at the west end of the Partner 29 corridor along the Old Yellowstone Trail, Cadott was named after Jean Baptiste Cadotte, the son of a fur trader who established a fur trading post here in the early 1800s. The first permanent settler was Robert Marriner, who built a log cabin and sawmill in 1865, beginning the lumbering and mill industries which served as the foundation of Cadott’s first growth. Today you will find a wide variety of places to visit, including Riverview Park, which has interpretive signs providing an insight into the unique rock formations along the Yellow River; the Cadott Area Historical Museum and Baker School; the ZCBJ Lodge Hall and Bohemian Cemetery, which are listed on the State and National Registries of Historic Places; the Wisconsin Veterans Tribute; good restaurants; a cheese house; a motel; and businesses along Main Street.

The city has the only remaining pulpwood stacker, located in the Mill Yard Park, site of the Cornell Visitors Center and Native American Museum (open May through October). Cornell is also a trailhead for the 20mile Old Abe State Trail for biking, walking, snowmobiling and horseback riding. Brunet Island State Park offers camping and other outdoor recreation.

Winter is the season for snowmobiling with access to more than 500 miles of groomed trails and riding on the lake.

Perched on the banks of the scenic Chippewa River, Jim Falls offers a smalltown feel full of local history and yearround outdoor recreational activities. The Old Abe State Trail welcoming bikers, snowmobilers, horseback riders and hikers can be accessed in Jim Falls. Xcel Energy’s Jim Falls Hydropower Plant is the largest hydropower producing facility in the Midwest. Boat access to the Old Abe Flowage and the upper end of Lake Wissota provides excellent angling opportunities for walleye, muskie, smallmouth bass and catfish. The Old Abe War Eagle memorial statue commemorates Wisconsin’s feathered Civil War hero. The Chippewa River along Highway 178 just north of Jim Falls offers a view of the original river channel, a hiking trail with spectacular displays of spring wildflowers, an area of study for geology students, scheduled flow releases for kayakers and an opportunity to view Wisconsin’s living fossil, the lake sturgeon.

The village of Lake Hallie, County Highway OO and State Highway 53, began in Wisconsin’s logging era. In the 1870s, the community of Badger Mills formed adjacent to the Chippewa River and Lake Hallie. Lake Hallie, an oxbow of the Chippewa River, was named after the daughter of the lumber mill president. The lake was used as a holding pond for logs. When the logging boom ended, the lake became a recreational center. Today Lake Hallie provides excellent ﬁshing throughout the year. Anglers and canoeists can enjoy a leisurely ﬂoat down the Chippewa River from Chippewa Falls to the boat ramp across from Lake Hallie. An 18hole golf course lies on the shore of Lake Hallie and the banks of the Chippewa River. Hallie Youth Days provides opportunities for young softball and baseball players to display their talents. Future plans identify a connection to be developed between the Old Abe and Chippewa River State Trails in 2019.

The Lake Wissota area offers natural beauty and attractions. Lake Wissota State Park, nine miles northeast of Chippewa Falls, includes more than 1,000 acres of forests and open prairie bordering a 6,300-acre lake. Boating, canoeing, swimming, waterskiing and the miles of trails are popular during the warmer months, and enjoy ice ﬁshing, snowmobiling and crosscountry skiing in the winter. The Old Abe Bike trail, accessed at the junction of County Highways O and S, follows the Chippewa River between the park and Brunet Island State Park near Cornell, passing through agricultural and undeveloped lands. The town of Lafayette borders Lake Wissota. The township maintains a boat landing on the lake and is the home of Skydive Wissota, an over45-year-old club that has trained instructors to help people experience the adventure of skydiving.

The adjacent Chippewa County Forest provides hunting, hiking, ﬁshing and snowmobile opportunities. New Auburn is the setting for the best sellers Population: 485–Meeting Your Neighbor One Siren at a Time and Visiting Tom, written by author Michael Perry, who describes life in this small town and has inspired visitors to come see the landmarks that play a role in his books.

The community is known for Chapman Park, with its annual rodeo, modern campgrounds, elk park, ball fields and volleyball, tennis and basketball courts. A recent addition to the community is the Veterans Memorial Park, located in downtown Stanley.

Just five miles northwest of Chippewa Falls is Tilden. Home to the very first farm in Chippewa County, the rich agricultural history lives on in crop and dairy farms today. A genuine sense of family values and a warm Wisconsin welcome awaits you. Duncan Creek runs through Tilden and offers fishing, kayaking and a place to cool off in the summer months. Throughout the seasons avid outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy ATV, snowmobiling and biking while taking in the sights of old tradition and new developments. There are a great handful of eating establishments and taverns alike. The town’s close proximity to Chippewa Falls makes it a great destination any time of year.

Trail

The Yellowstone Trail was the ﬁrst transcontinental automobile highway in the United States. In 1912 it began as an effort to provide good roads from South Dakota to the great tourist attraction, Yellowstone Park. It soon expanded to become a road running through all of the 13 northern-tier states, “from Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts, to Puget Sound on the Paciﬁc Ocean.” The trail was marked by bright yellow markers with a black arrow. The Yellowstone Trail attracted so many visitors that when the highway department numbered state roads in 1918, the Yellowstone Trail and its yellow road markers were allowed to remain. Today, thanks to the efforts of Chippewa County and the Chippewa County Historical Society Historic Marker Committee, the same Yellowstone Trail logo signs point the way through Chippewa County. Make plans to travel the trail and request your Yellowstone Trail Passport to get stamped along the way. For more information about the Yellowstone Trail visit chippewacounty.com.

STREAMS &

LAKES

Chippewa County has 449 lakes totaling 20,027 acres and ranging from 1 to 6,300 acres. Lake Wissota, the largest lake, is an impoundment of the Chippewa River east of Chippewa Falls. Although many of the smaller lakes do not support much of a ﬁshery, they offer solitude and serenity for those wanting to get away. Thirty-eight lakes have developed public access and most are listed in the table on this and the opposite page. Many lakes provide excellent angling opportunities. The Chippewa River and its ﬂowage offer some of the best and most diverse angling opportunities in the county.

MAJOR TROUT STREAMS OF CHIPPEWA COUNTY

Chippewa County also provides 81 miles of trout-ﬁshing opportunities in 24 classiﬁed trout streams. Seventy-seven miles of these streams are Class 1 trout water. For a complete list and maps of lakes and streams in Chippewa County,
