Best Place to Take Your Pet (non-business)

Ready for an adventure? Try taking your dog to one of these pawsome spots! Coming in first are the Eau Claire Off-Leash Dog Parks (three locations).  We aren’t the only ones who need to let loose every now and then – let your pup run wild in a safe space!  Sprinting into second is Irvine Park (Chippewa Falls); the next time you want to take Fido out, check out the Native Tree Trail. Trotting into third is Carson Park (100 Carson Park Drive, Eau Claire), where you can find even more nature trails to hike with your four-legged friend. Pup yeah! –Natalie Derks
