This trail extends from Phoenix Park in downtown Eau Claire, at the confluence of the Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers, and travels south along the Chippewa River through a wide variety of habitat including river bottoms, prairies, sandstone bluffs and wetlands. It joins the Red Cedar State Trail in the Dunnville Wildlife Area, and ends at the town of Durand. The route is flat other than an 80-foot elevation change in Carson Park.
