Route description
The highway begins at its intersection with Highway 70 in Grantsburg.The intersection is also the northern terminus of Highway 87. The highway runs south from the intersection in a concurrency with Highway 87, passing through the community of Branstad before leaving the concurrency and running east from it. Near Trade Lake, the highway intersects with four county highways; Y, O, M, and Z. It continues east from there until it reaches Frederic, where a concurrency starts with Highway 35. The highway continues south along the concurrency until it reaches Luck, where it runs east from. In Cumberland, it follows a short concurrency with U.S. Route 63. After passing Highway 25 and an interchange with U.S. Route 53, it passes through Rice Lake. It continues east from Rice Lake, passing through a few villages and unincorporated communities before terminating at Highway 40 in Weirgor.
