Wisconsin 131 follows the Kickapoo River through the Driftless Area, a part of southwest Wisconsin that the glaciers missed. From Ontario, near Wildcat Mountain State Park, the road winds south through La Farge and the Kickapoo Valley Reserve to the orchard town of Gays Mills. Steep wooded hills, ridgetops and small farm towns line the way.
