State Trunk Highway 65 (often called Highway 65, STH 65 or WIS 65) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north–south in west central Wisconsin from St. Croix Falls to Ellsworth.
State Highway 65 begins at the corner of West Main Street (also known as U.S. Highway 10) and North Maple Street in downtown Ellsworth in Pierce County. WIS 65 heads north on Maple Street out of town, splitting off with County Highway J north of the Ellsworth Country Club golf course.
WIS 65 then heads in a generally west-northwesterly direction towards River Falls. At its intersection with WIS 29 at East Cascade Avenue, it is concurrently marked with WIS 35 north to its interchange with North Main Street on the northeast side of town. WIS 35 continues to the north while WIS 65 turns northeast on North Main and out of town.
WIS 65 runs parallel to the Kinnickinnic River along its northern banks until reaching North River Road outside of River Falls. WIS 65 then turns due north to its interchange with I-94 near Twin Lakes (Exit 10).
North of I-94, WIS 65 heads north as 120th Street into the village of Roberts where it intersects with U.S. Highway 12. WIS 65 then heads east with US 12 for about four blocks before heading north on 130th Street.
