Rustic Road 118

If you’re looking for a killer fall colors cruise, Rustic Road 118 in Northeast Wisconsin’s Forest County is the spot. Starting in the historic logging town of Wabeno at WIS 32 and County C, this 26.3-mile loop follows Indian Market, Kuffner, Camp 1, and Bay Shore roads before reconnecting with County C.

The road rolls through the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, where you’ll be surrounded by towering maples, oaks, pines, and poplars that explode with color in autumn — perfect for a slow, scenic drive with some herbal refreshments. You’ll pass Native American lands, several creek crossings, and the Knowles Creek Impoundment with its chill interpretive trail — a great spot to catch eagles, owls, loons, and more.
