The River Ridge Trail is part of a plan to preserve urban natural areas or “greenspace” in a non-motorized trail system that winds throughout the Waupaca Area. The first trail segment, a scenic loop of 1.6 miles, opened in fall of 1996. Since then, over 22 miles of trails have been designated. Bikes are allowed only on limestone or blacktopped surfaces. The trail lies in the tension zone between Wisconsin’s northern and southern eco-regions, an area of unique biological diversity. By linking parks and other public and private lands, the community and its visitors will be able to enjoy the wealth of natural features for years to come.

King Cottage
Waupaca Area History They say Waupaca was settled on a small waterfall along the Waupaca River in the 1800s by a father and his two sons. There are several thoughts about how the settlement got its name. Some say Waupaca comes from the Indian term “waubuck seba” which means pale water. Others say the name derives from a friendly Potawatomi man named Sam Wapuka, also known as Chief Waupaca. Whatever its origins, we believe what brought people to this area long ago still brings them here today; a beautiful area with abundance resources and endless possibilities.
Hutchinson House Museum and King Cottage Located in Waupaca’s South Park The Hutchinson House was built in 1854 and is the oldest existing
home in the City of Waupaca. The house opened as a museum in 1957, after being moved to South Park the year before. The museum showcases the Victorian era and displays many artifacts from Waupaca’s early settlers. Museum guides will help you take a step back in time and revisit the lives of these early pioneers. The King Cottage, previously a cottage at the Wisconsin Veterans Home in King, sits
behind the Hutchinson House. A new exhibit tells the history of the Wisconsin Veterans Home and its cottages. Family friendly and fun for everyone!

Waupaca Railroad Depot 525 Oak Street (County E), just north of the railroad bridge At one time, the Waupaca Depot was a significant part of the Waupaca community and the first thing seen by travelers when arriving in Waupaca. In 1907, after a fire destroyed the old building, the Wisconsin Central built a brand-new depot for this important tourist and shipping location. The building sent empty after 1987 until the Waupaca Historical Society purchased it in 2004. Since then, the historical society has worked to restore the building to its former beauty. The Waupaca Railroad Depot features railroad displays, a model train and other open outbuildings. Open Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend on Saturdays and summer holidays from 12-3 p.m. Also open for special events and tours.

Yellowstone Trail In 1912 the Yellowstone Trail became proposed as America’s first trans-continental highway across the northern portion of the country – stretching from the east coast at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts and ending on the west coast at Puget Sound, Washington. The name derives either from the people using the trail to reach Yellowstone National Park, or because of the stones painted yellow to mark the trail. The Yellowstone trail entered the City of Waupaca by what was the Bunker Hill School located on the south side of Highway 10 on County Road A. You can find signs marking the route traveling westward. The Waupaca Area Chamber of Commerce has additional information about the Yellowstone Trail and what sites travelers would have seen passing through the Waupaca Area.
