So just what IS the State Trunk Tour?
The State Trunk Tour celebrates the fun of road tripping in Wisconsin by selecting certain state highways and riding them in their entirety, reporting everything along the way. Wisconsin’s state highways connect all sorts of points of interest, cities, towns, recreation trails, scenic byways, lakes, rivers, bridges, historical sites, geographic markers, taverns, antique shops… you get the idea. With descriptions, pictures, links and more, it's designed to be a fun ride through the state and a good source for inspiration. We're updating routes almost daily, so check back often!
