Lovely fall day for our annual Fall Colors Hike today! About 25 people joined us, about half of whom had never been to Hoffman Hills! Introducing folks to our favorite outdoor rec treasures is one of our favorite things in the world. Northwest WI has so many amazing resources to enjoy the outdoors, you just have to know where to look. That’s what you’ve got us for 😉

Many hills hiked, many colorful leaves admired, many new friends made. A wonderful day! 🍁

Today’s Bean Island concert was probably the coolest in Eau Claire history 🛶🪕

6 musicians played today unplugged, with human power alone, on an island on the Chippewa River for a crowd of about 100 people. We had the big job of helping to get many of them cross the river! We provided the canoes for the taxi and, along with many friends, paddled everyone over 2 or 3 passengers at a time.

This was honestly one of the most “Eau Claire” days I’ve had in a long, long time. A wild idea brought to life, one that embraces nature and art and community. What is more Eau Claire than that? A sweet end to the 2026 adventure season ❤️

Thank you Bean Island!

It’s not too late to celebrate our trip to the Boundary Waters at the end of August, right? Y’all, we’ve been hustling through the transition from a retail operation to an adventure-only operation, we just haven’t given social media as much love as we’d like! But I really didn’t want to miss the opportunity to share some memories from the end of August cause they were ✨blissful✨

We had the honor to take 7 adventurers to the best place on Earth (totally unbiased opinion) some for the first time ever. This trip was equal parts challenge and relaxation in the best possible way. We conquered storms and portaging. We swam in the pristine water ways, watched loons fish under the moon, and ate fresh caught fish. We connected with nature, each other, and ourselves and forgot about the hustle and bustle of the world, just for a few days. There’s just something special about doing something hard and having nature reward you for it, you know?

Another incredible Boundary Waters trip for the books!

We’re planning to be back next year! Join us next year! Keep an eye out for our guided adventure lineup this winter! Catch an early peak by signing up for our newsletter! Or you can find it here on social media too.

The thing about Downtown Eau Claire is that it is ever changing and that’s part of what makes it so special and so alive. Wednesday was our last day in our beloved building on N Barstow. We saw this 140 year old building take on new life. We had the great honor to call it home after a major facelift. It was an honor to call downtown Eau Claire home too. Now we’re passing this building on to the next lucky business owner with big dreams and a lot of courage! This building is still up for grabs! If you’re looking for a spot for your business to call home, DM me and I’ll share my landlord’s contact info with you (the landlord is awesome by the way, you’ll love working with him)

As we closed the door on our little storefront, the door was opening for local art! I always said this brick wall was calling for a mural. Pop over to N Barstow to check out the progress! You might even catch the local artist, Mel, in action! Thanks to the North Barstow Business Improvement District and Downtown Eau Claire, Inc. for funding this local art project!

As for us, we’re operating “remotely” now. You’ll still catch us in the wild providing rentals and guided adventures! Get your adventure started on our website, www.eauclaireoutdoors.com

We’re collaborating on probably the coolest event I’ve ever seen—a Chippewa River concert, right here in Eau Claire. Hop in an Eau Claire Outdoors canoe for a quick taxi to the island (or bring your own boat!) and enjoy live local music while immersed in nature.

Join us Oct. 11!

We’ve been so busy with our retail closing sale, it was nice to take a beat to get grounded in what this business is all about—adventure!

It was so fun to welcome out-of-towners from California to Florida and everywhere in between on the Chippewa River this weekend as they kicked off their music festival weekend with Campout in the Pines at the Pines Music Park!
