In some of the most remote parts of the state, hidden among the most beautiful countryside, is a series of Rustic Roads. These roads are less traveled and may sometimes be gravel or unpaved. They are often short detours from more well-known routes, at least two miles long and some of the most gorgeous, scenic drives Wisconsin has to offer.

The Rustic Roads program was created more than 40 years ago to provide hikers, bicyclists and motorists an opportunity to leisurely travel through the state’s scenic countryside. Today, there are 120 designated Rustic Roads spanning more than 724 miles through 59 counties.
