The Rustic Roads Program,
administered by the Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation, was established
in 1973 to showcase Wisconsin's most picturesque roadways. These roads
have outstanding natural features along their borders such as rugged
terrain, native vegetation, native wildlife, or may include open areas
with agricultural vistas. They are lightly traveled roadways for the
leisurely enjoyment of hikers, bikers, and motorists. Wisconsin's Rustic
Road network features 95 roads covering some 510 miles through 53
counties. The Spooner area of Washburn County has two officially
designated Rustic Roads.
