Spring in Chippewa County is a season of fresh starts, blooming trails, and farm-fresh finds. As the snow melts and the days get longer, it is the perfect time to get outside, explore local growers, and discover a new favorite stop along the way.

Outdoors & Agritourism
Take a hike through Brunet Island State Park, or bike the Old Abe State Trail and take in the wonderful smells of spring blooms. Stop by local garden centers to check out flowers and pick up plants for the season. Then, as the season turns toward summer, stroll four acres of lavender, shop locally made products, and enjoy seasonal events at Pondview Lavender Farm. Farmers markets begin returning in June, including the Chippewa Falls Farmers Market, which offers local produce, flowers, baked goods, artisan goods, and more.

Eat & Drink
Celebrate patio season’s return with a local meal, a cold drink, or a warm coffee along the way. Start your day at one of many Coffee shops the County has to offer. Enjoy a drink at one of Chippewa County’s breweries, wineries, and distilleries, or settle in at a local restaurant for classic Wisconsin comfort food, small-town hospitality, and a classic Friday fish fry.
