Altoona

Tucked along the Eau Claire River and Lake Altoona in western Wisconsin, Altoona is a place whose character is shaped by the waterway running through the city. Lake Altoona, created by a dam on the river, gives Altoona a shoreline uncommon in the Eau Claire–Chippewa Falls urban area, with public spaces and residential districts close to the water. River Prairie, beside the river, serves as the city’s gathering place, bringing together a park, trails, an amphitheater and seasonal community events. Altoona lies within the Chippewa Valley, a region where the Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers have long influenced settlement and industry.
