Wausau sits along the Wisconsin River, a former lumber town that traded sawmills for a laid-back Midwestern charm. Its 61 restaurants serve up everything from hearty comfort food to riverside dining, while a handful of cozy hotels make it easy to settle in for a night or two. It is a compact, walkable stop for travelers exploring central Wisconsin.
