Waterfall Hikes Near Lake Wissota, WI
within 50 miles
Living at Lake Wissota puts the water right outside the window, and the falls nearby keep the same unhurried pace. Big Falls on the Eau Claire River asks a half mile of walking and ends at a swimming hole where the dog can paddle. Hamilton Falls takes a mile. So does Pipestone Falls. Bellile Falls and one more unmeasured entry round out the five inside the radius. Summer planning mostly comes down to picking a swim day.
