Rustic Road 58

Location:  Oneida County. Blue Lake Road, west from US 51 to Mercer Lake Road, and Mercer Lake Road, north from Blue Lake Road to WIS 70.

Length:  9.6 miles

Surface:  Paved

Blue Lake Road skirts many scenic northwoods lakes while it wanders through thick pine and hardwood forests. This route crosses a railroad bed that was used in the 1800’s as a main source of entry and exit to Minocqua. It has now been converted to the Bearskin State Trail for hiking and bicycling. There is also an ideal location along R58 for launching and retrieving a canoe where Blue Lake Road intersects the Tomahawk River. The northwoods beauty continues along Mercer Lake Road as it travels across two small creeks, through cedar lowlands, and dense pine and hardwood forests before intersecting with WIS 70.
