Scenic Highway 60 - Lower Wisconsin Riverway

The first corridor to be designated a Wisconsin Scenic Byway, Highway 60 takes travelers 100 miles along the Lower Wisconsin River from Lodi to Prairie du Chien in the heart of southwest Wisconsin’s rural Driftless Area. The Wisconsin River, constantly shifting its flowage and altering the exact contours of its sandbars and channels, runs through a landscape of hills, bluffs and valleys. The breathtaking views the region offers will captivate you and your family. In addition to taking in the beautiful scenery, numerous recreational and learning opportunities are available to suit all ages and interests.
