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.
From Rib Lake turn east on Hwy 102 to County Trunk C, then turn left (North), then follow
signage. Timm's Hill is Wisconsin's highest point--1,951.5 feet above sea level. Climb the
observation tower, hike the trails and enjoy the picnic area.
Overlooking Rib Lake is Lakeview Park, which has camping facilities available. Also in the
park is a closed-in shelter with a kitchen for community events and private gatherings.
Two volleyball courts, horseshoe pitts, and playground equipment are available. New
bathrooms and shower facilities along with sewer, water, and electrical hook-ups are also
available in the park.
