Buffalo River Route
The Buffalo River Route is named for the Buffalo river which is a main geographical feature on this ride. In fact, this route traces most of the Buffalo River’s path from Mondovi, WI to its mouth at the Mississippi River.  The majority of the Buffalo River Route follows the best roads in the hills and valleys between the Buffalo and Chippewa Rivers. The hills are steep and tall and the roads follow the natural terrain and are often narrow and very curvy.  Highway 10 runs east-west through a low valley, but the Buffalo River Route mostly bypasses this more traveled area and stays in the surrounding hills.  There are several nice parks, sights, and activities along the route. Take a ride on the Chippewa Valley Motorcar or stop in to see the giant Circus Poster in Durand. Nelson, Wisconsin, a popular motorcycle destination, is also one of the towns along the route.
