State Trunk Highway 155 (often called Highway 155, STH 155 or WIS 155) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs in north–south in north-central Wisconsin from St. Germain to Sayner.

Route description
Highway 155 begins at a junction with Highway 70 in the community of St. Germain. From here, the highway heads north through a forested region with many lakes; the route lies entirely within the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest. The route passes through the Town of St. Germain to the east of Big St. Germain Lake before curving to the northwest to bypass Lost Lake. After crossing a small creek, the highway turns west toward a junction with County Highway C. Highway 155 turns north at the junction and continues through a populated area south of Sayner. The route curves northwest into Sayner, entering the Town of Plum Lake as it does so. The highway intersects County Highway N in Sayner, and the two highways run concurrently through Sayner. The routes run through a mixed residential and business district, passing the Vilas County Historical Museum and the Plum Lake Library. Highway 155 ends in northern Sayner at another junction with County Highway N, which continues to the west; Plum Lake lies to the north of the terminus.[2][3]
