Stanley

Chapman Park includes something for every family—the lake, playgrounds, tennis, basketball, baseball areas, picnic areas and 32 campsites with modern bathroom facilities and a sanitary dump station. A deer and elk park is also within the park.

Hunters, fishermen and all sports enthusiasts stop at Oemig’s where they find everything they need.

Since 2003, on Father's Day weekend, professional cowboys hail from across the nation to compete at the Stanley Rodeo Days Festival. Many continue on to compete at the National Finals in Las Vegas.

April Lamovec at the new Kitchen Koncepts wows all with fantastic kitchen and bath designs.

Stanley, located along the historic Yellowstone Trail, celebrates the everyday with food, festivals and nature..and the best part is that everyone is invited. Discover, indulge and enjoy!

For all seasonal flowers and shrubberies, Reit's Garden Shop remains Stanley's favorite.

Squeaky curds are just one selection from a wide range of award winning cheeses at LaGranders, a few miles south of Stanley. The local Lions Club's most popular event is its Stanley Watermelon Festival. In addition to the free melons, there is a flea market, an antique auto show, cake walks, bingo, grilled chicken dinners and other food stands. Earlier that day, a fun run is held.

Things to See & Do Orchard Area Whether you’re visiting in the spring, summer or fall, don’t miss the beautiful orchard district in southern Chippewa County. Approximately four square miles of rolling hills come alive with apple blossoms in the spring, wine in the summer and, of course, apples in the fall. Six apple orchards make up this area eight miles east of Chippewa Falls. Each orchard oﬀers something unique to travelers from near and far. Fresh apple pies, cider doughnuts, gift shops, wine and fresh pressed cider are among the treasures to be found. Orchards are open seasonally. Reference current page for more information.

Silent Sports Chippewa County provides visitors and residents various areas to enjoy silent sports throughout all seasons of the year. Bike the Old Abe State Trail or Duncan Creek Trail, paddle on one of the 449 lakes and streams, put down your stake while camping in one of our county or state parks, or ride horses along the 22-mile Hay Meadow Horse Trail or along a portion of the Old Abe State Trail. When the weather turns cooler, take to the Hickory Ridge Recreation area for 27 miles of ski trails groomed for traditional or skate skiing. With an abundance of trails, parks, and recreation areas, silent sports enthusiasts will enjoy Chippewa County.

Yellowstone Trail The Yellowstone Trail was the first transcontinental automobile highway in the United States. In 1912 it began as an effort to provide good roads from South Dakota to the great tourist attraction, the Yellowstone Park. It soon expanded to become a road running through all of the 13 northern tier states, “from Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts to Puget Sound on the Pacific Ocean.” The trail was marked by bright yellow markers with a black arrow. The Yellowstone Trail attracted so many visitors that when the highway department numbered state roads in 1918, the Yellowstone Trail and its yellow road markers were allowed to remain. Today, thanks to the efforts of Chippewa County and the Chippewa County Historical Society Historic Marker Committee, the same Yellowstone Trail logo signs point the way through Chippewa County. Make plans to travel the trail and request your Yellowstone Trail Passport to get stamped along the way. For more information about the Yellowstone Trail visit www.chippewacounty.com.

It now stands as a monument to the logging industry that laid the foundation for the entire Chippewa Valley. The Cornell Visitors’ Center, located under the stacker in the Mill Yard Park, displays many artifacts from the logging era.
