Jim Falls sits along the Chippewa River in Chippewa County, offering an easygoing pace with quick connections to larger hubs like Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, and Cornell. The community’s identity is intertwined with the legend of Old Abe, the Civil War bald eagle mascot, whose story echoes along the riverbanks and local landmarks. Residents appreciate mornings that start with mist over the water and evenings capped by sunsets across the dam.
Outdoors lovers find plenty to do. The paved Old Abe State Trail runs right through the area, inviting cyclists, runners, and snowmobilers to explore miles of woods and river views. Nearby Lake Wissota State Park adds sandy swimming, boat launches, and quiet hiking loops—perfect for weekend picnics or winter cross-country skiing. With four true seasons, anglers, paddlers, and leaf-peepers all get their moment.
Families value practical amenities and strong schools. The Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District serves many local students with robust academics, arts, and athletics, while the Town of Anson provides essential services that keep daily life running smoothly. Housing spans river-view cottages, roomy lots, and updated homes within an easy commute to employers and colleges in the region.
