It’s always great to let your best friend tag along on any adventure, especially locally! Locals love to let their doggos run to their heart’s content at the Eau Claire Off-Leash Dog Park (three locations)! Enjoy sunny sidewalk walks or shaded tromps through the wooded trails at Irvine Park and Zoo (Chippewa Falls). Carson Park also offers lots of trails for happy tails! —Stephanie Nesja
