Wisconsin's Great River Road flanks the majestic and magnificent Mississippi River as it leisurely winds its way along 250 miles of Wisconsin's western border. Along its way, the road is nestled between the river on one side and towering bluffs on the other, becoming one of the most scenic drives in mid-America. Most of the time the road parallels the river, but when the road does meander a short distance away, it treats its guests to vistas of rolling farmland as well as beautiful forested valleys and coulees. The 33 quaint river towns along this Byway proudly reveal their culture and heritage through their festivals and the 19th and 20th Century architecture of their homes, business blocks, storefronts, mansions, and more.
