Elmwood rewards everyday life with small-town ease and big-outdoor energy. Set in Pierce County between River Falls and Menomonie, the village offers quick drives to work or class while keeping you close to trout streams and rolling countryside. Weekends often mean casting a line or wading along the Rush River, hiking, or picnicking at the nearby Eau Galle Recreation Area, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a local favorite for trails, beach time, and paddling at Eau Galle Lake. Families and curious explorers also make a short trip to Crystal Cave in Spring Valley, the state’s longest cave, for guided tours that delight all ages.
Schools anchor the community, with the Elmwood School District known for personalized attention, hands-on learning, and strong co-curriculars. Enrichment continues at regional institutions like the University of Wisconsin–River Falls and University of Wisconsin–Stout, both expanding opportunities for dual-credit courses, cultural events, and career pathways. Each summer, Elmwood’s UFO Days brings neighbors together for parades, music, and plenty of local flavor, while the Pierce County Fair celebrates the area’s agricultural roots. For even more green space, day-trip to the scenic Kinnickinnic State Park for river overlooks, biking, and birding, or unwind lakeside at the Eau Galle Recreation Area.
