State Trunk Highway 85 (often called Highway 85, STH 85 or WIS 85) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs east–west in west central Wisconsin from Durand to Eau Claire. About midway along the route, the highway passes through Rock Falls, and three miles (5 km) further, Caryville, the only two recognizable settlements between the route's termini. In recent years, the corridor between Rock Falls and Caryville, especially the western side of the highway (i.e., along the Chippewa River), has seen some suburban development.
