caption_attribution_description: English: Downtown St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin along Wisconsin Highway 87.
context_page_description: State Trunk Highway 87 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north–south in northwest Wisconsin from St. Croix Falls to Grantsburg. It was first designated as a state highway in 1924.
context_section_description: The highway begins at an intersection with US Highway 8 (US 8) in St. Croix Falls, just east of the St. Croix River. The highway runs north from the intersection, running along Washington Street in St. Croix. The highway then follows the St. Croix River until it curves to the west. Soon after, the highway swerves a to the west and meets County Trunk Highway I (CTH-I), running north from it. It then passes through Eureka Center and a one-mile (1.6 km) concurrency with CTH-G before reaching Cushing, from where it runs one mile (1.6 km) to the west before continuing north. The highway then passes by a few lakes and the community of Trade River, and then runs east of Fish Lake Wildlife Area. While running east of the Wildlife Area, it runs concurrently with WIS 48. After the Wildlife Area's boundary ends, the highway passes through Branstad before terminating with WIS 48 at WIS 70 in Grantsburg.
