Scenic Highway 42 More than a route…A Destination!
Add a dimension of enjoyment to your trip through Northeast Wisconsin by making the journey itself part of your travel plans.
Rather than taking in the same scenery of a long, four-lane highway, take the road less traveled and add excitement and unique experiences to your trip!

- relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of Lake Michigan
- tour a WWII submarine and tug boat
- take a charter fishing trip and catch the big one on Lake Michigan
- capture photos of the beautiful lighthouses
- enjoy less crowded beaches
- walk, hike, bike, and jog miles of recreational trails
