Kayaking in Eau Claire's Riverview Park.

For those looking to get out for some waterborne fun, Loopy’s Saloon and Grill in Chippewa Falls is a great place for it! Guests can grab a bite to eat and rent a canoe for an afternoon on the scenic Chippewa River. Equipment rental is available and a shuttle ride is provided to one of the entrance points. Make sure you’re being safe out there, too. First, always wear a life jacket! And pay attention to weather conditions like wind, waves, and forecast … and dress for the conditions. Be aware of other traffic on the water. River Prairie Park in Altoona is a great access point to the Eau Claire River for tubers, canoers, and kayakers to launch, too. For rentals, consult Loopy’s or Riverside Bike & Skate in Eau Claire.
