Established in 1990, Vilas County’s only Rustic Road is R-60, an 11.7-mile stretch of County Road K between County Road M in Boulder Junction and County Road N in Star Lake that winds through the Northern Highland/American Legion State Forest under canopies of coniferous and hardwood trees.

Ride a Rustic Road
Scenic history surrounds the Northwoods
Across the state there are pathways to the past — stretches of road where motorists can experience Wisconsin’s scenery as though they were a 1950s couple out for a Sunday drive on crisp autumn day, or a logging truck driver carving through the stillness of a 1930s Northwoods winter, or a child catching sparks of sun through the canopy of leaves while the family drives up north for vacation in the 1960s.
