Route description
WIS 127 begins at a junction with WIS 16 and County Trunk Highway WD (CTF-WD) in the Town of Newport, southwest of Wisconsin Dells. From here, the highway heads east through farmland, crossing CTH-O. It enters the Town of Lewiston, passing to the south of Lake Corning. Past the lake, the route meets CTH-XX and CTF-AA in succession before turning southeast; the latter route connects WIS 127 to Briggsville. WIS 127 crosses a creek before turning east to pass Lewiston Elementary School. After crossing a second creek, the route again heads southeast toward Portage. The highway curves south to pass Columbia Correctional Institution, a maximum-security state prison, before entering Portage. In Portage, the route passes several businesses before terminating at a junction with WIS 16 and exit 89B on I-39.[2][3]
