Most Beautiful Spot

Looking for a pretty place to take a hike or to just sit and enjoy for a while? The Chippewa Valley voted Big Falls County Park (600 Big Falls Forest Road, Eau Claire) the most Beautiful Spot for the eighth year in a row – and for good reason! The Devil's Punchbowl (410th Street, Menomonie) is beautiful in the summer and the winter, you should definitely check it out when there are huge icicles hanging down. Beaver Creek Reserve (S1 County Highway K, Fall Creek) is chock-full of beautiful spots and has a butterfly enclosure to check out in the summer! –Sawyer Hoff
