Best Place to Take a Selfie

Strike a pose and capture unforgettable moments at these selfie-ready locations. The picturesque Phoenix Park Bridge offers a perfect backdrop for selfies during any season. One of the Chippewa Valley’s most desired backgrounds for pictures is the ever-changing Eau Claire Sculpture Tour on Barstow Street and throughout the city, with each art piece making for an Instagram-worthy photo opp. Finally, take a bike to the breathtaking views from High Bridge, a historic landmark offering stunning panoramas of Eau Claire and the rushing waters below. —Nicole Lincoln
