Wisconsin’s first Rustic Road was dedicated in 1975. A historical marker alongside the road commemorates the designation. R-1 crosses through hills and valleys created by the last Wisconsin glacier nearly 12,000 years ago. A public beach is located at
South Harper Lake. Timm's Hill National Trail, just north of the
Ice Age Trail, runs between R-1 and R-62, located nine miles north in Timm's Hill County Park. The park is open year round for hiking, skiing and snowshoeing.
