Rustic Road 119 is Wisconsin's only Rustic Road located on an island, running across Washington Island at the tip of Door County in Lake Michigan. The route's southern end passes sand dunes, forest, and glimpses of the island's rocky Lake Michigan shoreline, while Mountain Road runs beneath limestone bluffs that are part of the Niagara Escarpment, the same dolomite ridge that forms Niagara Falls hundreds of miles east. Farther along, the gently rolling Town Line and Airport roads pass working lavender farms and vineyards that have become part of the island's small agricultural tourism economy. Reaching the road at all requires a ferry crossing from the Door Peninsula mainland, making this Rustic Road one of the more logistically involved to visit in the entire system. That extra effort is part of the appeal for travelers who make it a deliberate destination rather than a casual stop.
