State Trunk Highway 83 (often called Highway 83, STH 83 or WIS 83) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north–south in southeast Wisconsin from Hartford to the Illinois border near the town of Salem.
Most of the WIS 83 corridor consists of glacial formations and lakes. From the Washington County line south to the Illinois state line, WIS 83 runs within a few miles of at least 11 different small lakes. The rural nature of this routing results in WIS 83 being mostly two-lane undivided highway except for sections where it runs concurrent with other highways (WIS 50 and WIS 36), or where it approaches an Interstate (I-43 and I-94).
WIS 83 begins at the Wisconsin/Illinois state line, just north of Antioch, Illinois at the northern terminus of Illinois Route 83. WIS 83 heads north through Salem through the Westosha region of Kenosha County as Antioch Road.
On the western edge of Paddock Lake, WIS 83 turns left on 75th Street and runs concurrently with WIS 50. WIS 75 continues north on 256th Avenue towards Kansasville.
