The historic core near Leinenkugel's and downtown

The area around the Leinenkugel's brewery and historic downtown anchors Chippewa Falls' oldest, most historically rooted neighborhoods, with the Leinie Lodge visitor center a real, present-day community landmark.

Areas near the Chippewa River

Neighborhoods along the Chippewa River, which runs directly through the city, offer genuine, direct access to local waterfront recreation.
