Rustic Road #1

Originally laid out in 1895, Rustic Road Number One became the first official rustic road in Wisconsin. Dedicated in 1975, this road became one of the first roads in the nation to be preserved for its rustic and scenic characteristics. The road winds for approximately five miles through outstanding forested glacial topography.
