Rustic Roads 14 127

These images were made during a journey down Wisconsin's first Rustic Road, dedicated in 1975, in Taylor County. A historical marker alongside the road commemorates the designation.

 

R-1 crosses through hills and valleys created by the last Wisconsin glacier nearly 12,000 years ago. Timms Hill National Trail, connecting the nearby Ice Age Trail with R-62 and Timms Hill Observation Tower nine miles to the north, is open year round for hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing. A public beach is located at South Harper Lake.

 

Wisconsin's Rustic Roads system was created to preserve many of the state's scenic, lightly traveled country roads. Features of Rustic Roads include rugged terrain, native vegetation and wildlife, or open areas with agricultural vistas.
