It’s the first taste of spring flooding in Chippewa Falls.
The city closed a handful of walking trails because of high water along the Chippewa River. The Chippewa River Trail behind the UW-Eau Claire Fine Arts Building, at the boat landing behind Hobbs Ice Arena, and at the street underpasses at Madison Street and Farwell Street are closed till further notice.
Forecasters say the Chippewa River should stop rising tomorrow.
