Drive Door County Curvy Highway (WI-42), Ellison Bay, Wisconsin

Near the northern terminus of Wisconsin Highway 42 is a section known as the Door County Curvy Highway. This unusually twisty stretch of Highway 42 was built in the early 1930s. Why was it built this way? It's probably a mix of a local landscape architect Jens Jensen who did not like stright lines - that locals have even nicknamed it “Jensen’s Road” - or they were tryign to avoid cutting down too many trees. Either way it's a fun section to drive. The Jens Jensen curvy road is one of the most photographed roads in the midwest. It is located on Highway 42 between Gills Rock and Northport on the northern tip of Door County in Wisconsin.
