Title
Scenic Byways [Wisconsin] {2015}
Description
This layer represents scenic byways in Wisconsin in 2015. The Scenic Byways program is a cooperative effort between local communities and WisDOT to identify and promote state highway corridors with scenic and/or historical attributes that provide travelers an enjoyable visual, educational and recreational experience.The Scenic Byways program is similar but separate from WisDOT’s Rustic Roads program. Typically, Rustic Roads are lightly-traveled town or county roads that offer bikers, hikers and other travelers a leisurely opportunity to see native terrain and wildlife in a rural setting.In contrast, a scenic byway is a numbered state highway system route (other than interstate highways), at least 30 miles long, that offers travelers numerous scenic and/or historical attributes whose promotion can serve to boost a region’s attractiveness as a tourist destination., This is an archived copy of the data held at UW-Madison. Wisconsin Coastal Atlas information and data are also available from the Coastal Atlas online: https://www.wicoastalatlas.net/ For more information on Wisconsin's Scenic Byways: https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/travel/road/scenic-ways/default.aspx
