Great River Road (WI-35)
Wisconsin's only All-American Road follows the Mississippi River for roughly 250 miles from Prescott south past Prairie du Chien, riding beneath river bluffs through a string of small river towns. The signature stretch between La Crosse and Prairie du Chien hugs the water almost the whole way.
