Photograph The Dells Mill

Augusta, Wisconsin

Description

This beauty has been here since 1864.

This is a fun and scenic stop near Eau Claire, WI. It is beautiful all year round, but especially in the fall. The mill was initially used to ground wheat, which was a very important part of Wisconsin's economy during the Civil War era. It has been used for many different things since then. Currently it is owned by Amish folks. They have a store you can walk through and there is a museum.

Areas around the mill are private property I believe, so the best place to photograph it is from the County V bridge. Be careful as this can be a busy road.

I would make this a stop while doing a 2-4 day trip to Eau Claire, which has a lot of fun activities to offer.

When I went in 2019 it was free, but their website says there is a fee now. Hike around for an hour or so and then have a picnic. I went around 6pm after work one day and had a wonderful time. We only saw about a dozen people and during our picnic we had the place to ourselves! This is a 135 acre park, so there’s plenty to do. The falls are beautiful and if you cross the rapids there are san...

Hike the Hoffman Hills Outer Loop

Hoffman offers convenient parking; there is one large lot, and one for overflow. There are trails that are easy, moderate, and difficult. All of the trails however, are uphill. Most of them end at the viewing tower, which showcases Wisconsin, and the beauty that goes along with it. A very rewarding hike indeed. The best part is the different trail options for different levels of difficulty....

Perrot State Park, located in Wisconsin's Driftless Region, is home to many tall bluffs, including Brady's Bluff and Trempealeau Mountain. Many elevated hikes give you a wonderful view of the Mississippi River and its surrounding bluffs, but the real treasure is seeing this area from the water by canoe.
