Dells of Eau Claire

In central Wisconsin, somewhere halfway between the north pole and the equator, is a secluded hollow called the Dells of Eau Claire.


This Marathon County Park offers a scenic rocky gorge created by the power of nature. Water cascades into waterfalls eventually settling into a quiet stream for trout.











A small park with limited facitities for camping was a tranquill start of our long weekend. With no showers or dump station we transported our water in and planned to dump the next stop. Also for those wanting an electrical site you'll want to bring an extension cord since they are shared electrical posts.














We hiked the trails along the gorge and the old river bed. There was plenty of time to enjoy the grounds in a day or two and decided to venture out to nearby towns.













































There really wasn't much to find. Of course there's always seems to be a casino nearby. This one was just completed and had some of the most amazing new technologies for gaming, especially at the black jack tables.


















We had to stop at Nueske's Smoked Meats in Wittenberg. They're know for there Applewood Smoked Bacon












...and the adventure continues

  2. Looks like some challenging trails. Have they washed with all the rains?
