Whether biking is in your blood or you’re a newbie to the pastime, the Chippewa Valley has a trail that’s perfect for you. Running from Phoenix Park in Eau Claire along the Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers to Durand is the Chippewa River State Trail. This 30-mile route will take you through a variety of scenic habitat. The level grade and limestone surface make the Red Cedar State Trail another beautiful bicycling route and a favorite of Chippewa Valley pedalers. Lowes Creek County Park is great for mountain bikers and provides a year-round opportunity for all experience levels. – Kellie Williams
