Built around lumbering and river transport on the Wisconsin River, Wausau grew into a regional centre for central Wisconsin. Rib Mountain rises immediately west of the city and is home to Rib Mountain State Park and Granite Peak, a major Midwest ski destination. Wausau’s downtown combines early 20th-century commercial buildings with venues including the Grand Theater, while the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum is widely known for its annual Birds in Art exhibition. Trails, riverfront parks and nearby forests reinforce the city’s close connection to the Northwoods landscape. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across central Wisconsin.
