REFUGE & RECREATION. It seems – after reviewing this year's Best Of the Chippewa Valley Reader Poll – there continues to be no shortage of self care for mind and body in Chippewa Falls. Today, local businesses and organizations offer services from tranquil massage and lash lifts, to horseback riding amongst the region's natural landscapes. (Image of Rolling River Spa, via Facebook)

While one explores the charming storefronts of downtown Chippewa Falls, peruses the unique local treasures within Market On River or finds the perfect shoe fit at Mason Companies, a day of local discovery leaves one craving a bit of intentional restoration.

Luckily for us locals – and out-of-town visitors alike – spots of rest, refuge and recreation are abundant around town.

Whether you find yourself searching for a rejuvenating spa session, a yoga class or the rhythmic pace of horseback riding, Chippewa Falls has no shortage of ways to practice intentional self care for both mind and body.
