Review & FAQ:

Wanting to experience some of Chippewa Falls’ natural beauty? Head out onto the Old Abe State Trail, a 19.5-mile trail that connects Chippewa Falls and Cornell.

This old railway has two trailheads located in Chippewa Falls. While hikers can take the trail for free, those using bikes, horses, or skis must buy a trail pass from the Land Conservation & Forest Management Department located in the county courthouse.

Visitors can purchase both day and seasonal passes, depending on vacation plans. Animals and wildlife can be found along the trail, but proper conservation etiquette is requested.
