With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Menomonie, 30 miles away, has to offer. Wakanda Park ought to be high up on your list here. Wakanda Water Park and Mabel Tainter Center for the Arts are terrific attractions too. Chippewa Falls is another popular destination. It’s 55 miles away and home to an array of fun things to do. Lake Wissota State Park, Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company and Chippewa Falls Museum of Industry and Technology are just the start.
