Cornell, WI

Set along the banks of the Chippewa River, Cornell is a small Wisconsin town shaped by its logging roots and surrounded by outdoor recreation. In the center of town, the massive historic pulpwood stacker at Mill Yard Park stands as a landmark from the old paper mill era. Daily life offers plenty of ways to get outside, starting right downtown at the trailhead for the Old Abe State Trail. Just across the river, Brunet Island State Park provides quiet hiking, canoeing, and camping, making Cornell a peaceful home base for anyone who loves the outdoors.
