This signature route takes you to many of the highlights of the city accessible exclusively via paved bike trails.
Start through Phoenix Park and venture up to the epic High Bridge over the Chippewa River and overlooking the dam and Cascades paper plant. Then make your way down the trail through the Cannery District past both the Brewing Project and Lazy Monk breweries and take a short tunnel toward and then along Half Moon Lake.
Later you have the option to cross and return on the old rail bridge alongside Clairemont Avenue, and then ride one of the most beautiful stretches of trail along the Chippewa River leading to the Water Street District, UW‑Eau Claire, Owen Park, and the pedestrian-only First Avenue promenade before you cross the Phoenix Park rail bridge back toward The Local Store.
There you have the option to continue a just bit further and cross the iconic S-bridge over the Eau Claire River toward Banbury Place (the old Uniroyal Tire Factory) and down the trail to the finish.
