Rustic Road 58

Winding through the heart of Oneida County, this 9.6-mile stretch along Blue Lake Road and Mercer Lake Road is a must-experience journey through Wisconsin’s Northwoods. Hugging the shores of scenic lakes, the road meanders through towering pines and dense hardwood forests, offering breathtaking views at every turn.

Along the way, it crosses the historic railroad bed that once carried trains to Minocqua in the 1800s—now transformed into the Bearskin State Trail, inviting hikers and cyclists to explore.

At the Tomahawk River crossing, a perfect canoe launch awaits, setting the stage for a peaceful paddle.

As Mercer Lake Road continues, the adventure unfolds across two small creeks, cedar lowlands, and more of the region’s signature forest beauty before meeting WIS 70.
