So why is it called
 a State “Trunk” Highway?


"Okay... this thing just goes all over the place"

 Click here for a map overview

Southern terminus: Dane County, at U.S. Highway 51 & I-90 (Exit 106) near Albion

Northern terminus: Rusk County, at the junction with U.S. Highways 8 just north of Ingram

Mileage: about 265 miles

Counties along the way: Dane, Columbia, Dodge, Green Lake, Marquette, Waushara, Adams, Portage, Clark, Taylor, Rusk

Sample towns along the way: Cottage Grove, Marshall, Columbus, Randolph, Princeton, Wautoma, Plainfield, Nekoosa, Wisconsin Rapids, Neillsville, Thorp, Jump River, Ingram

Bypass alternates at: Columbus

Quickie Summary: State “Trunk” Highway 73 meanders across a huge chunk of the state with little or no discernable explanation why it got the routing it got. Which, of course, makes for an interesting road trip. I hope, since I haven't run it yet... the World's Largest Talking Cow is along Highway 73 in Neillsville, though, so of course we'll be checking that out!

The Drive (South to North): COMING SOON!

Wisconsin Rapids, Ice Harvest, January 29, 2012
