Most Romantic Spot

Can you feel it? The love in the air tonight? If you’re looking for a place to cozy up with your honey or to pull out a good romance book by yourself (both are valid) here are the places the Chippewa Valley voted as most romantic. In first place is Big Falls County Park (600 Big Falls Forest Road, Eau Claire) with a plethora of picnic areas with grills for a romantic outdoor dinner, sandy beaches, canoeing/tubing, and of course, beautiful waterfalls. Next up for romantic spots is Rod and Gun Park (1515 Rod and Gun Park Drive, Eau Claire) a 36-acre park that has eight small ponds that are connected through a series of small streams and is a local favorite and is used for many dates, engagements, and weddings. Last but not least is The Brewing Projekt rooftop (1807 N. Oxford Ave., Eau Claire) which overlooks the Chippewa River – it’ll be the second best-looking view on your date. –Sawyer Hoff
