I asked a similar question before, but for Northern Illinois, and responses were thin because Northern Illinois basically sucks for driving.

So now I'm expanding and willing to go somewhere farther to do some carving. What was the FWT route? Was that good driving? I may have heard something about Kettle Moraine? I know the route towards Lake Geneva isn't too bad. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks. And don't worry, I am an older responsible adult, autoxer, don't excessively speed, and am not wreckless.

 

There are some decent roads out by where I live. I headed up the FWT spirited drive.

 

Cool. What streets? I'll Mapquest it. Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for, a spirited drive

 

holy hill road and friess lake road. start there.

hogsback road is good too.

There are some good roads near Lake Geneva. Snake Road is fun but it's residential.

There are a lot of good roads (for Wisconsin at least) in Kettle Moraine north park, which is about an hour north of milwaukee off highway 45.

Read the handout. Lots of good little stretches on there. Word of caution, on weekends it's generally traveled by tourists who don't appreciate your higher rate of speed, and also by more park rangers (who have all the powers of arrest that a state trooper has, plus higher fines at their disposal; a lot of them also have bad attitudes about sports cars as FWT attendees can attest). If you go during the week it's usually pretty clear of anyone.

 

go 55 north towards Boulder Lake is fun. It's full of small hills and curves. The road is very nice and it's next to the Wolf River. You can go raffting or kayaking there.

 

If you're into downhill drift, Devil's Lake in WI would be a good place for you. Take 90/94 towards north/west and its near Wisconsin Dells. They have some crazy twisty roads up and down hills.

 

I live in Libertyville, IL and run up to Wi. every Sunday morning (weather permitting). Typically have breakfast in Lake Geneva then go play. Like early mornings, less traffic and no Harleys. To many great roads to list, many of the best are posted as "Rustic Roads". I noticed Snake Road in Lake Geneva was mentioned. Full of turns and scenic however you cannot carry any speed, to tight with many blind corners and residential in some spots. I am also familiar with Southern Kettle Moraine (great fun) Down side is heavy traffic (MOTORCYCLES!). Another reason for leaving early. If you want to tag along let me know.

 

If you are willing to come down into Indiana, I love taking back roads off of US 24 from Ft Wayne down to West Lafayette and also in Brown Cty. Indiana is pretty much known as a flat state, but it has some decent roads here and there. Just stay out of my hometown- we dont like to fill any potholes in ft wayne.
