State Trunk Highway 182 is a state highway in Price and Iron counties in northwestern Wisconsin, United States, that runs east-west from Park Falls to Manitowish.
Route description
WIS 182 begins at a signal-controlled intersection with Wisconsin Highway 13 in western downtown Park Falls. For its entire length, WIS 182 is a two-lane road.From its western terminus, WIS 182 heads east as 1st Street South for about before crossing over the Flambeau River. East of the river the road is signed as Birch Street. Roughly after the river crossing the highway leaves Park Falls and enters the Town of Eisenstein. Immediately after leaving the city, the highway jogs to the northeast twice as it continues its otherwise eastern course. About after leaving Park Falls, the highway enters the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest. Approximately after entering the Forest, the highway assumes a northerly course.
Around along its northerly heading, WIS 182 leaves the Forest, the Town of Eisenstein, and Price County to enter the Town of Sherman in Iron County. Roughly north of the county line, and nearly a mile west of unincorporated community of Springstead, the highway resumes an easterly course. After passing through Springstead and winding through multiple lakes for just over, the highway again briefly resumes a northerly course. Nearly later the highway turns east again. After about another, WIS 182 reaches its junction with Wisconsin Highway 47, at a point just over a mile west of the unincorporated community of Powell. Running concurrent with WIS 47, WIS 182 heads briefly northwest before resuming a northerly course once again.
Roughly north of its southern junction with WIS 47, WIS 182/WIS 47 leaves the Town of Sherman and enters the Town of Mercer. Approximately later the concurrent highways cross Manitowish River and enter the unincorporated community of Manitowish. Almost immediately after entering Manitowish, WIS 182/WIS 47 reaches the eastern terminus of WIS 182 at a T intersection with U.S. Route 51. While WIS 182/WIS 47 ends at a T intersection with US 51, two roads run north from US 51 immediately east and west of that junction. On the east is Manitowish Road and on the west is Old Hwy 51. Both roads run straight northwest and closely parallel to each other for roughly before reconnecting with US 51.
