Wisconsin's Great River Road
flanks the majestic Mississippi River as it
leisurely winds its way along 250 miles of
the Wisconsin west border. Along its way,
the road is nestled between the river on one
side and towering bluffs on the other,
becoming one of the most scenic drives in
mid-America. Most of the time the road
parallels the river, but when the road does
meander a short way from the river, it
treats its guests to vistas of rolling
farmland and beautiful forested valleys and
coulees. |

The Rustic Roads system in
Wisconsin was created in 1973 in an effort
to preserve what remains of Wisconsin’s
scenic lightly traveled country roads.
Unique brown and yellow signs mark the
routes of all officially designated Rustic
Roads, and there is a maximum speed of 45
mph. To avoid confusion the letter “R”
prefix is used with the road number. In
Trempealeau County our Rustic Road is a
River Drive Loop off of WI 54, it is 5 miles
in length, and it is unpaved. This is a true
back country road and may not be passable in
the winter or during wet periods. |

small town commercial area that has
high architectural integrity and
attractiveness. A walking guide to
